Message from the CEO
A leaner Huddlestock, built for European scale
Europe's investment landscape is changing fast. Technology is collapsing the cost of distribution, regulatory complexity is rising, and markets outside the Nordics remain underserved by modern digital investment infrastructure. For a company with Huddlestock's capabilities, this is a compelling opportunity. But capturing it requires focus.
We made the decisive choice to exit our Nordic Investment-as-a-Service platform in 2025 and redirect our resources toward asset-light European expansion. Our complete platform including technology, compliance, and regulatory infrastructure bundled as one is precisely what partners and end customers need to participate in the next generation of investment services. We don't just provide tools - we provide the infrastructure that makes entry possible.
Germany first
Germany is our initial target, and we moved quickly. In 2025 we signed a definitive agreement with GIGA Broker GmbH, owned by AVL, to power their new digital trading and investment platform, and ended the year with a soft launch of cryptocurrency trading on the platform. The full platform, covering stocks, ETFs, derivatives and cryptocurrencies, is set for broad launch in June 2026, giving AVL's client base of 65,000+ investors, with EUR 2.6 billion in assets under administration, access to a modern, fully regulated investment oaring.
Alongside this, we are launching a white-label version of the platform in April 2026. This serves a dual purpose: it provides an early proof-of-concept for the scalability of our IaaS model, and opens a direct path to onboarding additional customers under the same infrastructure. Each new partner added is incremental revenue with minimal marginal cost, which is precisely the commercial logic of our asset-light approach.
Our ambition is to bring Huddlestock GmbH to cash flow positive during 2026. With Robert Fuchsgruber leading our local team and Sabine Merky joining as CFO with direct German market experience, we have the on-the-ground capability to execute. Germany is our entry point and Continental Europe is our ambition.
Visigon: our profitable engine
Our consulting division, Visigon, launched a reshaped growth strategy, focused on application management, hosting, and business process outsourcing that is already delivering newfound commercial traction, with a new two-year managed services contract signed in early 2026. This shift toward recurring, capability-based revenues makes Visigon an increasingly scalable business, with a clear target of reaching NOK 100 million in revenue in 2028 with a 20% EBITDA margin.
The opportunity ahead
Huddlestock enters 2026 with a leaner structure and a clear strategic thesis: combine deep fintech expertise with trusted local partners to deliver compliant, modern investment services across Europe. Near term, we are focused on converting the GIGA Broker partnership into revenue, scaling Visigon's managed services model, and proving out the asset-light IaaS approach in Germany as the template for broader European expansion with our white label oaring. The foundation is set. The focus now is on execution.

Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
Board of Directors report
Group overview
Huddlestock is an innovative technology partner in the financial industry across the Nordics, with high ambitions for its expansion into continental Europe. Following the transformative divestment of the Nordic Investment-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform to Done.ai in August 2025, Huddlestock has sharpened its strategic direction and now concentrates on two core business areas:
- Accelerated market entry into Germany, supported by long-term partnerships with AVL, Tradevest, and GIGA Broker.
- Growth and profitability through Visigon, the Group's consulting division specializing in capital markets and treasury.
This strategic simplification provides Huddlestock with increased financial flexibility and a more focused operating model, positioning the Group to drive capital markets innovation in Europe.
Huddlestock serves customers across banks, neobanks, wealth managers, fund companies, and investment platforms. The Group reported revenue of NOK 52.4 million in 2025.
Following the strategic divestment, Huddlestock Fintech AS, Huddlestock Technologies AS, Huddlestock GmbH and Visigon remain within the Group and continue to support the foundation for future European delivery.
The consultancy business is project-based with multi-year projects and, as part of the revised growth strategy, is now also a full-service provider through the launch of managed services. In 2025, consulting services accounted for 65% of Group revenue, and are delivered through the group companies Visigon Nordic, Visigon Sweden, and Visigon Denmark.
Investment-as-a-Service represented 32% of revenue prior to the divestment, generated by licenses, assets under management and transaction-based fees. The IaaS entities included Huddlestock Technologies AS, Huddlestock GmbH, Huddlestock Investor Services AS, Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB.
At the end of 2025, Huddlestock had a presence in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Details on the Group structure are provided in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
Operational review
European financial markets continue to experience accelerated digital transformation, driven by stricter regulatory demands, market transparency requirements, and rising expectations for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Huddlestock's combination of technology, operational expertise and regulatory capabilities supports banks, asset managers and trading venues in navigating this landscape.
Throughout 2025 and into 2026, the Board has worked closely with management to strengthen the company's foundations and ensure long-term value creation.
Investment-as-a-Service (IaaS)
The Investment-as-a-Service (IaaS) division has been comprised of both the Nordic IaaS platform, for which the Company announced its divestment in April 2025, and the European IaaS platform, with the first customer signed in March 2025. The agreement with GIGA Broker GmbH ("GIGA Broker") signified the initial acceleration of Huddlestock's European expansion, in line with the Company's growth strategy.
In August 2025, Huddlestock closed its divestment of the Nordic IaaS platform to Done.ai (formerly 24SevenOffice Group AB). The transaction included Huddlestock Investor Services AS, Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB, and marked a significant strategic milestone in the Group's transition toward a more focused and capital-efficient business model. Huddlestock Technologies AS and Huddlestock GmbH remain in the Group and will continue to support European initiatives, in addition to the support provided by a profitable consultancy business.
German market expansion
Germany represents a core strategic market for Huddlestock, driven by high investor demand and significant opportunities for modern investment infrastructure.
The initial expansion into the German market was marked by Huddlestock entering into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with AVL Finanzvermittlung
Beteiligungen GmbH ("AVL") in January 2024. This was followed by a collaboration agreement with Tradevest Digital Assets GmbH ("Tradevest") in September 2024. Together, these partnerships combine:
- AVL's strong distribution position with more than 65,000 clients
- Tradevest's brokerage and custody technology
- Huddlestock's regulatory framework and orchestration capabilities
A major milestone was reached in March 2025 with the signing of a definitive agreement with GIGA Broker GmbH, a sister company of AVL, to launch a new digital trading and investment platform under the GIGA Broker brand.
The GIGA Broker platform, currently under development with a planned broad launch in June 2026, will provide access to stocks, ETFs, derivatives and cryptocurrencies, leveraging AVL's significant customer base with EUR 2.6 billion in assets under administration. Through this partnership, Huddlestock is simultaneously developing a white-label solution, which will provide a proof-of-concept and additional scalability after launch in April 2026.
Subsequent to the reporting period, in February 2026, Huddlestock signed a definitive agreement with its second customer, Modern Finance Nation GmbH ("MFN"), following an LOI entered into between the Company and MFN in November
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
2025, and a cooperation agreement with XENIX Strategie- und Wirtschaftsberatung GmbH ("XENIX") in March of 2026. Expanding both the customer base and the European IaaS offering supports Huddlestock's growth strategy and momentum. See further information under subsequent events.
Group companies related to the German business employed 3 people at year-end 2025, 2 men and 1 woman.
Revised growth strategy in Visigon
Visigon is the Group's consulting division with deep expertise in capital markets and treasury technology. With a strong presence in Denmark and Sweden, Visigon continues to hold a leading market position in Nordic Nasdaq Calypso solutions and remains a core contributor to Huddlestock's profitability and long-term customer relationships.
Throughout 2025, Visigon continued to execute on its revised growth strategy, positioning itself to meet increasing demand for managed services, modernization of capital markets infrastructure, and strategic advisory capabilities. Key priorities in 2025 included:
- Scaling Visigon Managed Services, offering application management, hosting and business process outsourcing to create predictable, multi-year revenue streams.
- Standardizing delivery models to improve efficiency and strengthen margins across the consulting portfolio.
These strategic initiatives reinforce Visigon's role as a trusted partner for long-term clients and its position as a strategic partner for new clients seeking support in increasingly complex environments, both in capital markets and treasury, and support Huddlestock's shift toward a more scalable and capital-efficient business model after the Nordic IaaS divestment.
At year-end 2025, Visigon employed 20 people, 7 in Sweden and 13 in Denmark. Of the total workforce, 19 were men and 1 woman.
Cost reduction and cost control
In 2025, Huddlestock continued to strengthen cost discipline in alignment with its streamlined organizational structure. The Group focused on aligning operating expenses with the post-divestment business model, reducing costs associated with IaaS operations, and tightening discretionary spending across the organization.
Key priorities included:
- Lowering operational costs following the divestment of Nordic IaaS operations.
- Streamlining internal processes to reflect the Group's new structure centered on Visigon and German expansion.
- Optimizing vendor and service agreements.
- Strengthening cash management and financial oversight.
These measures support Huddlestock's capital-efficient strategy and contribute to improved financial flexibility as the Group enters its next phase of development.
Organization and governance
Huddlestock is committed to maintaining an inclusive, safe, and supportive working environment across all its operations. In 2025, the Group continued adjusting its organizational structure to align with its more focused and capital-efficient business model following the divestment of the Nordic Investment-as-a-Service platform.
The workforce in 2025 reflects this transition. After the divestment initiated in April 2025 and the subsequent streamlining of activities, the Group operated with a leaner organization centered around Visigon and the German market expansion. Huddlestock Group had 27 employees at the end of 2025, comprising of 23 men and 4 women. Full-time equivalents employed in the
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
10
group in 2025 totaled 25. Sickness was recorded at 2 per cent in 2025.
Huddlestock continued to uphold its commitment to equal opportunities and a discrimination-free work environment, regardless of background, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or age. No serious work-related injuries were reported during the year.
The company maintained stable leadership throughout 2025. Leif Arnold Thomas continued in his role as CEO, while Sabine Merky was appointed CFO effective from October 2025, responsible for financial management in the Group.
Following the divestment, the composition of the Board was revised with the departures of Erik Hagelin and Stefan Willbrand. The Board has since been further strengthened and now comprises Øyvind Hovland (Chairman), Ramtin Matin, Frank Bjordal (appointed August 2025), and Kai Friedrich (appointed October 2025). This configuration ensures both continuity and robust strategic oversight.
External environment
Huddlestock’s operations hold limited direct pollution impact on the external environment.

Financial review
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Huddlestock Group for the year ended 31 December 2025 are prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (NGAAP).
Overview of 2025 performance
Financial performance in 2025 reflects a transitional year marked by the divestment of the Nordic IaaS platform announced in April 2025 and the Group's shift to a more capital-efficient, partnership-driven model focused on Visigon and German market expansion. As communicated during the year, operating income declined compared to 2024 due to derecognition of the divested Nordic IaaS entities, while the cost base included one-off transaction and restructuring effects linked to the divestment and the strategic reorientation.
In 2025 the Group reported a total operating income of NOK 52.4 million compared to NOK 73.1 million in 2024. EBITDA was negative NOK 27.9 million compared to negative NOK 24.8 million in 2024. Net result was negatively affected by non-realized value changes in Done.ai shares received and losses related to the sale.
On 31 December 2025, Huddlestock had a cash position of NOK 4.6 million. Following the transformative transaction with Done.ai announced in April 2025, Huddlestock is now focused on profitable growth within its consulting business, through Visigon, and accelerated market entry into Germany in collaboration with local partners.

Profit and loss
Huddlestock had a total operating income of NOK 52.4 million in 2025, down 28% from NOK 73.1 million in 2024. 32% of the 2025 total is related to divested units, whereas 65% is related to the consulting business. The decrease is mainly a result of the divestment of the Nordic IaaS business accounting for NOK 12 million of the total YoY decrease. The decrease is also driven by a lower revenue in the consulting business, which ended NOK 7 million below the 2024 revenue, constituting a 14% decline, or 17% when adjusted for FX effects. This reduction is mainly due to a small portion of staff being temporarily between projects, as well as resources used on successfully moving from traditional IT services to a full-service provider with managed services.
Personnel costs amounted to NOK 48.5 million in 2025, compared to NOK 65.6 million in 2024. The 26% decrease is mainly related to the divestment of the Nordic IaaS business and its operations.
Other operating expenses were NOK 31.8 million in 2025, compared to NOK 32.3 million in 2024. Despite cost-reduction measures throughout the year, other operating costs have increased due to extraordinary expenses connected with the transactions throughout the year. These costs are of a non-recurring order and represent a savings potential for the upcoming year.
In total, operating expenses were NOK 80.2 million resulting in an EBITDA of negative NOK 27.9 million in 2025, compared to total operating expenses of NOK 97.9 million and EBITDA of negative NOK 24.8 million in 2024.
Depreciation, impairment and amortization totaled NOK 33.2 million in 2025 compared to NOK 71.8 million in 2024. Primarily reflecting amortization of intangible assets, the YoY decrease of NOK 38.6 million is due to depreciation adjustments and realized impairments on financial assets and goodwill of Swedish subsidiaries in connection with the Done.ai transaction. See also note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for a detailed overview.
Net financial items amounted to negative NOK 54 million for 2025 compared to negative NOK 3.1 million for 2024. The difference is mainly due to the impairment of shares received from Done.ai for the divestment of the Nordic IaaS business.
Huddlestock recorded a result before tax of negative NOK 114.6 million for 2025, compared to negative NOK 99.7 million for 2024. Net profit was negative NOK 113.4 million for 2025 and negative NOK 97.7 million for 2024. The majority of the net loss increase is due to extraordinary posts related to the impairment of shares after the sale of the Nordic IaaS companies.
Cash flow
Operating activities generated a cash outflow of NOK 27.9 million for 2025 and NOK 22.1 million for 2024.
Investment activities generated a cash inflow of NOK 9.6 million for 2025 compared to an outflow of NOK 12.4 million for 2024. Net additions of intangible assets related to technology development and M&A activities amounted to negative NOK 4.8 million. Net cash retained from acquisitions of financial assets amounted to NOK 12.5 million and sale of subsidiaries was NOK 2 million.
Financing activities led to a cash inflow of NOK 11.9 million for 2025, comprised of NOK 13.6 million proceeds from capital increases, NOK 1.5 million from obtained loans offset by NOK 3.2 million in repayment of loans. In 2024, financing activities generated a cash inflow of NOK 35.2 million.
On 31 December 2025, Huddlestock had a cash position of NOK 4.6 million, compared to NOK 10.9 million on 31 December 2024.

Financial position
Assets
At the balance sheet date, total non-current assets amounted to NOK 60.9 million, compared to NOK 178.6 million at year-end 2024. Goodwill accounted for NOK 26.5 million compared to NOK 89.7 million in 2024, and total intangible assets were NOK 58.7 million compared to NOK 178.1 million in 2024. Intangible assets are mainly comprised of goodwill and investments in research and development for enhancement of the technical solutions of the group. The decrease in intangible assets is due to divestment of the Nordic IaaS business to Done.ai.
Total current assets amounted to NOK 13 million at year end, compared to NOK 25.2 million for 2024. Total receivables were NOK 8.5 million, comprised of NOK 6.5 million in trade receivables and NOK 2.0 million in other short-term receivables. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 4.6 million.
Equity and liabilities
Total equity is reduced from NOK 123.6 million in 2024 to NOK 38.3 million in 2025. The decrease mainly reflects the attributable net loss for the year, offset by share issues to fund strategic developments in the organization, mainly in relation to the German expansion.
Total liabilities of NOK 35.7 million at year end, compared to NOK 80.2 million at the end of 2024, have decreased mainly due to the divestment of the Nordic IaaS business.
Long-term liabilities and provisions amounted to NOK 8.0 million, down from NOK 17.7 million at year end 2024.
The group had an equity ratio of 52 per cent at the end of 2025, compared to 61 per cent at the end of 2024.
Parent company accounts
Huddlestock Fintech AS, the parent company in the Huddlestock Group, provides services to the group's other companies. Huddlestock Fintech AS had a total operating income of NOK 3.3 million in 2025, down from a total of NOK 4.5 million in 2024. Total operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, amounted to NOK 29.2 million in 2025, compared to NOK 30.9 million in the previous year, generating an operating loss of NOK 25.9 million and NOK 26.4 million respectively. Net financial items were negative NOK 61.2 million and negative NOK 93.4 million in the same periods, with the notable YoY decrease of NOK 32.2 million resulting from write-downs of financial assets and investments relating to the Done.ai transaction. Net loss before tax amounted to NOK 87.1 million in 2025 and NOK 119.8 million in 2024. There was no income tax expense in either year, resulting in a net loss of the same.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the net loss of the parent company is charged to 'Share premium'. Huddlestock Fintech AS had total assets of NOK 95.6 million at year-end 2025, consisting of NOK 92.1 million non-current assets mainly reflecting investments in subsidiaries and NOK 3.5 million current assets, compared to total assets of NOK 183.3 million at year-end 2024. Equity amounted to NOK 76.4 million, reflecting an equity ratio of 80 per cent.
Going concern
The Board of Directors and the CEO confirm that the annual accounts have been prepared on the Huddlestock assumption of a going concern.
Similarly to previous years, the company experienced negative cash flow in 2025. This is not uncommon for technology companies, primarily due to being in a developmental phase with significant investments before products become revenue-generating.
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
14
The company is still in a phase of development and investment and relies on continued liquidity infusion. The company continues to have the stated goal of achieving positive cash flow within the upcoming one to two years.
To improve the financial situation, the company has divested the subsidiaries connected to the Nordic Investment-as-a-Service in April 2025 through the sale of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB to Done.ai. The sale has improved cash burn and increased financial flexibility to pursue attractive opportunities going forward. The first closing of the transaction was completed 24 April 2025 in accordance with the planned timeline, whereby Done.ai took over the ownership of Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB, completing the settlement of NOK 10 million in cash and NOK 56 million as a seller's credit note. The second and final closing, including the transfer of ownership of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, has been executed after approval from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet). The total Seller's Credit of NOK 69 million has been converted into shares in Done.ai by 15 August 2025. Done.ai is listed on Nasdaq.
The company is now focusing on launching its IaaS platform to the European market and at the same time keeping a stable set up with Visigon group which is both profitable and cash positive.
By the end of the first quarter 2026, the Group secured a bank loan of NOK 10 million, which strengthens the Group's short-term liquidity position. Together with anticipated revenue development following the launch and ramp-up of the Gigabroker/Whitelabel platform in Germany, this financing improves the Group's operational and financial flexibility and supports the near-term liquidity outlook.
The Group's liquidity forecasts nevertheless indicate that additional funding solutions may be required during 2026 to support operations and further development. Management is actively evaluating a range of financing and strategic alternatives available to the Group. As of the date of approval of the annual financial statements, no binding agreements related to such additional funding have been entered into.
While the Board and management consider that the Group's business development and growth prospects support the ability to secure additional funding or other financial solutions, uncertainties related to the timing and implementation of such measures remain.
The annual financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, with related uncertainty. Should the Group fail to raise new capital or find strategic solutions, the company will be unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. If the company is unable to meet its ongoing obligations, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets may be subject to impairment and there will be material uncertainty related to going concern.

Risks and mitigating factors
The Huddlestock Group is subject to various types of risks including regulatory, technological, market, capital availability, insurance and ESG. Risks and mitigating activities have historically been done at the individual entities within the group. As part of a group, the next step is to unify this work so that risks and mitigating actions will be executed on both a local and a group level.
Regulatory
Changes in financial services regulations in Germany, Nordics, and the EU/EEA could significantly impact the company's business, products, services, and asset value.
Areas of potential impact include monetary policy changes, regulatory policies influencing investor decisions, increased business costs, competition and pricing environments, financial reporting requirements, and operational structures.
Huddlestock finds itself in a constantly changing landscape of regulations. Since the Group's entities have delivered services in that landscape for many years, regulatory changes are perceived more as an opportunity for new business solutions than a threat.
Technology
Introduction of new technologies, digitalization, and changing consumer behaviors in the wealth tech sector could lead to structural changes and increased industry dynamics.
Failure to respond to market demands may negatively impact customer relationships, value chain position, and service offerings.
Also, dependence on uninterrupted IT system operation and reliance on third-party providers for critical IT services, could potentially adversely affect business operations.
One of Huddlestock's main drivers is to be in the forefront when it comes to utilizing new available technologies.
Market
Limited equity market investments, with potential adverse effects on share price and cost of capital during negative equity market conditions.
Foreign exchange exposures managed mainly through international business transactions, considered manageable.
Debt and revolving overdraft facilities with exposure to interest rate increases affecting profitability.
Huddlestock has an active approach when it comes to overseeing its mix of financing situations. The company has demonstrated its ability to attract growth capital via different mechanisms, following the opportunities available in combination with market risk by following these alternatives.
Strategy and Implementation
Risks associated with implementing the company's strategy, including complex judgments regarding customer needs, competitor activity, and macroeconomic assumptions.
Foreign exchange
So far, most of the group's revenues have come from the Nordics. The SEK and DKK have historically followed each other, meaning that hedging risk between these two currencies has not been a priority. As Huddlestock expands its operations beyond the Nordics, exposure to the euro (EUR) will increase, introducing new dimensions of foreign exchange risk. Going forward with ambitions outside Sweden and
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
16
Denmark, foreign exchange risk hedging will be evaluated.
Capital Availability
Huddlestock may require additional capital in the future to support its strategic objectives. Access to financing on attractive terms may be affected by volatile global equity markets, inflationary pressures, and changes in monetary policy, which could influence interest rates and the Company's overall cost of capital. To mitigate these risks, Huddlestock is actively evaluating financing alternatives and engaging in ongoing dialogue with potential financing partners, including opportunities related to non-organic growth.
Insurance
Full insurance coverage for regulatory requirements and liabilities for the Board of Directors and CEO.
Environmental, Social and Governance
No environmental damage caused by company activities. Good work environment with no serious injuries, work-related wear, strain injuries, or property damage recorded in 2025.
Subsequent events
Following the reporting period, Huddlestock continued to progress its European growth strategy through new commercial and strategic initiatives.
In February 2026, Huddlestock entered into an Investment-as-a-Service agreement with Modern Finance Nation GmbH (MFN) in Germany. Under the agreement, MFN will operate as a contractually bound broker under Huddlestock's regulatory supervision, with revenues expected to commence in the second half of 2026.
In March 2026, Huddlestock's German subsidiary signed a cooperation agreement with XENIX Strategie- und Wirtschaftsberatung GmbH, enabling the integration of ETF data and selection services into Huddlestock's IaaS platform and supporting further expansion of its German distribution capabilities.
During the same period, Visigon, the Group's consulting division, secured a new multi-year consulting contract following the strategic shift toward managed services and standardized delivery models. The contract supports Visigon's continued development of recurring revenues and reinforces its role as a stable and profitable contributor to the Group going forward.

Outlook
In 2025, Huddlestock acted on a strategic turnaround to advance into continental Europe, marked by the soft launch of cryptocurrency trades on the GIGA Broker trading platform at the end of the year. At the same time, the Consulting division has introduced a reshaped growth strategy, materializing with a new two-year managed services contract in early 2026. Building on this momentum, Huddlestock enters 2026 with a strengthened focus on its two core business areas: Consulting and Investment-as-a-Service (IaaS).
Huddlestock has established a solid foundation for profitable growth across its two divisions after the divestment of the Nordic IaaS platform. Through restructuring and sale of cost intensive and non-scaling business in 2025, Huddlestock continues its operations with an asset light IaaS business model focused on the European market, while developing its profitable consulting business in Visigon.
Huddlestock's IaaS strategy is focused on enabling scalable investment platforms through collaboration with strong, local partners. The German market represents a major strategic opportunity for Huddlestock and serves as an entry point into the broader Continental European market. With a larger addressable client base and higher transaction volumes than in the Nordics, the Company sees strong demand for scalable and regulated IaaS solutions. Through the partnership with GIGA Broker and AVL in Germany, Huddlestock will provide regulatory and orchestration services, while its partners handle client engagement and day-to-day operations.
At the same time, Huddlestock is expanding its Consulting division, operating under the Visigon brand. In response to shifts in the IT services landscape, the company has reshaped its strategy enabling growth through new delivery models, offering application management, hosting, and business process outsourcing. These offerings contribute to recurring revenue streams and will be an important area of focus in 2026, positioning Visigon as a trusted partner for financial institutions navigating increasingly complex regulatory and operational demands.
Going into 2026, the main revenues in the group will consist of revenues from Visigon, following expected revenues from GIGA Broker in June this year. The ambition is to turn the European IaaS Platform (Huddlestock GmbH) cash flow positive during 2026.
With a sharpened strategic focus on consulting and partnerships, combined with expanding presence across continental Europe, Huddlestock is well-positioned to create long-term value for its investors and partners.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 1 – General accounting policies
Basis for preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (NGAAP).
The Company prepares consolidated financial statements as it is the parent company of a group. As a company listed on Euronext Growth, consolidated financial information is required where a group structure exists.
All amounts are presented in thousands of NOK, unless otherwise clearly stated.
Group composition
The Company's head office is located at Tordenskioldsgate 2 in Oslo municipality, Norway. In addition to the parent entity, Huddlestock Fintech AS, headquartered in Oslo, Norway, the group includes the subsidiaries Huddlestock Technologies AS, Oslo, Norway, Huddlestock GmbH, Munich, Germany; Visigon Nordic AB and Visigon Sweden AB, Stockholm, Sweden; Visigon Denmark ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark. The company has offices in Norway, Germany, Sweden and Denmark, respectively.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with uniform policies by converting the subsidiaries to the same principles as the parent company.
Classification of items in the statement of financial position
Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Assets associated with the normal operating cycle are classified as current assets. Receivables are classified as current assets if they fall due within one year. Analogue criteria are applied to liabilities.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the parent entity is NOK. For consolidation purposes, the results and financial position of all the Group's entities that have a functional currency other than NOK are translated to the closing rate at the reporting date of each month. Income and expenses for each income statement are translated to the average exchange rate for the period, this being a reasonable approximation for estimating actual rate. Exchange differences are recognized directly against equity.

Note 10 – Income tax
Accounting policies
The income tax expense in the income statement includes the tax payable for the period and changes in deferred tax. Tax payable and deferred tax is calculated using tax rates and tax legislation that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period.

In addition, deferred tax is also calculated on tax loss carryforward at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be generated against which it can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset them.

Note 15 – Business combination
Description of business combination
As part of its growth strategy, Huddlestock Fintech AS has in prior years completed several acquisitions to build an integrated Investment-as-a-Service and financial technology platform. These transactions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with applicable accounting standards and resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets through purchase price allocations. The acquired entities included, among others, Tracs Services AS, Bricknode Platform AB, Bricknode Software AB, Bricknode Ltd, Dtech AS and Tracs Technology AS. In addition, Visigon, established in 2008, became part of the Huddlestock Group in 2021 and represents the Group's financial consultancy business.
The Nordic Investment-as-a-Service platform comprised entities that had previously been acquired and accounted for as business combinations. As a result, the consolidated financial statements included goodwill, customer relationships, technology and other intangible assets related to these businesses.
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
34
In 2025, Huddlestock completed the sale of its Nordic Investment-as-a-Service platform to Done.ai. The transaction comprised the sale of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB. The divestment therefore represents the disposal of businesses previously recognized through business combinations.
As a consequence of the transaction, goodwill, intangible assets and other related balance sheet items were derecognized, and realized gains and losses on disposal were recognized in the income statement, as presented in the relevant notes.
Following the divestment, the Group adopted a simplified structure, focusing on partnership-based Investment-as-a-Service delivery through Huddlestock GmbH and financial advisory and consulting services under the Visigon brand.
Note 16 – Events after the reporting period and going concern
The Board of Directors and the CEO confirm that the annual accounts have been prepared on the Huddlestock assumption of a going concern.
Similarly to previous years, the company experienced a negative cash flow in 2025. This is not uncommon for technology companies, primarily due to being in a developmental phase with significant investments before products become revenue-generating.
The company is still in a phase of development and investment and relies on continued liquidity infusion. The company continues to have the stated goal of achieving positive cash flow within the upcoming one to two years.
To improve the financial situation, the company has divested the subsidiaries connected to the Nordic Investment-as-a-Service in April 2025 through the sale of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB to Done.ai (former 24SevenOffice). The sale has improved cash burn and increased financial flexibility to pursue attractive opportunities going forward. The first closing of the transaction was completed 24 April 2025 in accordance with the planned timeline, whereby Done.ai took over the ownership of Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB, completing the settlement of NOK 10 million in cash and NOK 56 million as a seller's credit note. The second and final closing, including the transfer of ownership of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, has been executed after approval from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet). The total Seller's Credit of NOK 69 million has been converted into shares in Done.ai by 15 August 2025. Done.ai is listed on Nasdaq.
The company is now focusing on launching its IaaS platform to the European market and at the same time keeping a stable set up with Visigon group which is both profitable and cash-positive.
By the end of the first quarter 2026, the Group secured a bank loan of NOK 10 million, which strengthens the Group's short-term liquidity position. Together with anticipated revenue development following the launch and ramp-up of the Gigabroker/Whitelabel platform in Germany, this financing improves the Group's operational and financial flexibility and supports the near-term liquidity outlook.
The Group's liquidity forecasts nevertheless indicate that additional funding solutions may be required during 2026 to support operations and further development. Management is actively evaluating a range of financing and strategic alternatives available to the Group. As of the date of approval of the annual financial statements, no binding agreements related to such additional funding have been entered into.
While the Board and management consider that the Group's business development and growth prospects support the ability to secure additional funding or other financial solutions, uncertainties related to the timing and implementation of such measures remain.
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
35
The annual financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, with related uncertainty. Should the Group fail to raise new capital or find strategic solutions, the company will be unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. If the company is unable to meet its ongoing obligations, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets may be subject to impairment and there will be material uncertainty related to going concern.

Notes to the parent company financial statements
Huddlestock Fintech AS
General accounting policies
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The annual accounts have been prepared in conformity with the Accounting Act and NRS 8 – Good accounting practice for small companies.
OPERATING REVENUES
Income from the sale of goods is recognized on the date of delivery. Services are posted to income as they are delivered.
TAX
The tax charge in the profit and loss account consists of tax payable for the period and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate at 22% on the basis of tax-reducing and tax-increasing temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and the tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or may reverse in the same period are set off and entered net.
CLASSIFICATION AND VALUATION OF FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets include assets included for long-term ownership and use. Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost. Property, plant and equipment are entered in the balance sheet and depreciated over the asset's economic lifetime. The depreciation period for real property acquired after 2009 is divided into the part that represents the building and the part that represents fixed technical installations. Property, plant and equipment are written down to a recoverable amount in the case of fall in value which is expected not to be temporary. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net sale value and value in use. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows related to the asset. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write-down is no longer present.
CLASSIFICATION AND VALUATION OF CURRENT ASSETS
Current assets and short-term liabilities normally include items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date, as well as items that relate to the stock cycle. Current assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value.
SHARES IN SUBSIDIARIES
Subsidiaries are valued using the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acquisition cost for the shares unless a write-down has been necessary. A write-down to fair value is made when a fall in value is due to reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary, and such write-down must be considered necessary in accordance with good accounting practice. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write-down is no longer present.
Dividends, group contributions, and other distributions from subsidiaries are posted to income in the same year as provided for in the distributor's accounts. To the extent that dividends/ group contributions exceed the share of profits earned after the date of acquisition, the excess amounts represent a repayment of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the investment's value in the balance sheet of the parent company.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of the respective receivables.
Huddlestock - Annual report 2025
41
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Expenditures on research and development are capitalized to the extent that they are part of projects generating identifiable intangible assets, of which future economic benefits can be attributed. Expenses related to projects that do not meet these criteria are charged to the income statement as they accrue.
GROUP COMPOSITION
In addition to the parent entity, Huddlestock Fintech AS, headquartered in Oslo, Norway, the group includes the subsidiaries Huddlestock Technologies AS, Oslo, Norway; Huddlestock GmbH, Munich, Germany; Visigon Nordic AB and Visigon Sweden AB, Stockholm, Sweden; Visigon Denmark ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark; Huddlestock LTD.

The first closing of the transaction was completed 24 April 2025 in accordance with the planned timeline, whereby Done.ai took over the ownership of Huddlestock AB and Huddlestock Technologies AB, completing the settlement of NOK 10 million in cash and NOK 56 million as a seller's credit note. The second and final closing, including the transfer of ownership of Huddlestock Investor Services AS, has been executed after approval from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet). The total Seller's Credit of NOK 69 million has been converted into shares in Done.ai by 15 August 2025. Done.ai is listed on Nasdaq.
The company is now focusing on launching its IaaS platform to the European market and at the same time keeping a stable set up with Visigon group which is both profitable and cash-positive.
By the end of the first quarter 2026, the Group secured a bank loan of NOK 10 million, which strengthens the Group's short-term liquidity position. Together with anticipated revenue development following the launch and ramp-up of the Gigabroker/Whitelabel platform in Germany, this financing improves the Group's operational and financial flexibility and supports the near-term liquidity outlook.
The Group's liquidity forecasts nevertheless indicate that additional funding solutions may be required during 2026 to support operations and further development. Management is actively evaluating a range of financing and strategic alternatives available to the Group. As of the date of approval of the annual financial statements, no binding agreements related to such additional funding have been entered into.
While the Board and management consider that the Group's business development and growth prospects support the ability to secure additional funding or other financial solutions, uncertainties related to the timing and implementation of such measures remain.
The annual financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, with related uncertainty. Should the Group fail to raise new capital or find strategic solutions, the company will be unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. If the company is unable to meet its ongoing obligations, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets may be subject to impairment and there will be material uncertainty related to going concern.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Huddlestock Fintech AS showing a loss of NOK 87 085 286 in the financial statements of the parent company and a loss of NOK 113 364 000 in the financial statements of the group. The financial statements comprise:
- the financial statements of the parent company Huddlestock Fintech AS (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2025, the income statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
- the consolidated financial statements of Huddlestock Fintech AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2025, the income statement and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion
- the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to note 16 in the consolidated financial statements, note 11 in the parent company financial statements and the Board of Director’s report, which describe that the Company and Group are dependent on raising new capital but that no such capital raising has been formalized as of the date of the annual accounts. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors’ report. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors’ report.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors’ report. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors’ report and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors’ report otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors’ report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
- is consistent with the financial statements and
- contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
