Highlights Q2 2025

Financial performance still affected by soft market
Our revenue was further impacted by the Easter period in Q2, while in Q1 last year. On the upside, we achieved record-high revenue from new customers – highlighting strong growth potential.
Expanding into defence sector
Through our Enter Ukraine with Itera initiative, we have made strong progress including the Defence sector, with several deals combining billable consultancy with a future risk-and reward sharing model.
Operational improvement with AI
We are enhancing operational effectiveness through deeper AI integration in internal processes, supported by reduced overhead and operating expenses.

Market view
- Market demand remains soft but slightly improving this led to longer sales cycles and reduced visibility.
- The ongoing shift towards cloud-native and data driven solutions integrated with AI capabilities is driving substantial growth.
- Defence is emerging as high-growth markets for digitalisation, driven by increased investment and innovation in response to the war in Ukraine.
