Income statement
Q1 2026 and YTD
Consolidated revenue amounted to USD 40.7 million in Q1 2026 (USD 31.4 million in Q1 2025), representing a 30% increase year-on-year.
Revenue growth was supported by both software and SaaS, with software revenues typically exhibiting higher quarter-to-quarter variability due to the immediate recognition of certain subscription software contracts.
Pexip operates in two main product areas. Pexip self-hosted software, which mainly consists of sales from software licenses and related maintenance contracts, and Pexip as-a-Service, which consists of sales from Pexip's public cloud service. Self-hosted software revenue accounted for USD 24.9 million in Q1 2026 (USD 18.1 million, +38%). The increase is due to increased sales, as well as the immediate recognition of subscription software contracts creates quarterly variation in software revenues. Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was USD 15.9 million in Q1 2026 (USD 13.3 million, +19%).
Cost of sale consists mainly of network, data center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, as well as 3rd party commissions and software licenses. Cost of sale amounted to USD 3.3 million in Q1 2026 (USD 2.6 million). Gross margin remained stable at 92% despite higher cloud usage in the period. The increase in the quarter is related to increased cost of cloud compute from higher usage of Pexip's cloud service.

Salary and personnel expenses amounted to USD 14.4 million in Q1 2026 (USD 15.3 million), which is 35% of the quarterly revenue (49%).

Other operating expenses amounted to USD 4.4 million (USD 3.4 million), which reflects a level of 11% of the quarterly revenue (11%). USD 0.5 million of the increase is tied to a semi-annual company kickoff. Other gains and losses amounted to a gain of USD 0.5 million (gain of USD 0.2 million).

Subsequent events
There were no subsequent events after March 31, 2026.
Risk and uncertainty
Risk management in Pexip is based on the principle that risk evaluation is an integral part of all business activities and is a part of the annual strategy review. Pexip has developed its approach to risk assessment and risk mitigation within financial reporting and information security, where Pexip holds ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications as external recognition of its approach.
Pexip is exposed to several risk factors related to operational and market activities, customer relationships and third parties, laws, regulations, and compliance, financial and market, among others. The Risk and Risk Management section in the 2025 Annual Report contains detailed descriptions and mitigating actions.
2026 has seen continued uncertainty in trade policies across countries and some instability in currency exchange rates. As a company operating in multiple countries, this may have an impact on Pexip's business although software and services are not product categories that so far have been impacted. The Company is continuously monitoring the situation and will seek to adapt to any changes in trade regulations.
Outlook
Pexip believes that the market for enterprise-grade video communication will continue to increase due to the increased adoption and usage of video communication, and increased awareness of sustainability. Pexip has unique video technology with capabilities within security, interoperability, and flexible deployments. This makes the company well-positioned as enterprises and public sector organizations continue to adopt hybrid working models. Furthermore, Pexip believes in the increased use of video in organizations' workflows with their clients/customers, creating additional new and significant market opportunities. In particular, the use of video for mission-critical, high-security meetings has increased. This is the foundation of the focused strategy Pexip is executing, pursuing

market-leading positions in Secure and Custom Video and Connected Spaces.
