CEO's Perspective

Our fourth quarter in 2025 saw a flat topline with 1% revenue growth, however with a 7% growth in recurring revenue on a twelvemonth rolling basis. Our international markets, including the UK, Spain and the Baltics drove the growth. Revenues in Norway and Sweden were down, principally due to fewer hardware installations of Electronic Shelf Labels. Adjusted for non-recurring items, our EBITDA was also flat, down 3 MNOK vs. same quarter last year of 5 MNOK. It is worth noting that our Nordic and Baltic businesses continue to deliver profitability on par with earlier quarters, and that Spain reached break-even. Our investment in personnel and solutions-to-market in the UK & Ireland held profitability back in the fourth quarter.

Jacob Tveraabak CEO of StrongPoint

In the last quarter of 2025, our topline grew 1% to 342 MNOK. The growth was driven by a strong quarter in the UK & Ireland, Spain and the Baltics, with 36%, 58% and 14% topline growth respectively. The growth in the UK was driven by the implementation of an AutoStore facility and Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) installations from Vusion at various grocery retailers. In Spain, the growth stems from Vusion ESL hardware sale and installations, whilst the Baltics continued to deliver yet another strong quarter for self-checkout solutions.

The growth in recurring revenue is a combination of delivering on our Order Picking solution, other own and third-party license revenues, as well as service contracts and rentals. Growing our recurring revenue base, in particular recurring revenue from our own proprietary software, is an important priority for StrongPoint going forward to build a more valuable, predictable and stable business. In the fourth quarter, we had the last remains of recurring revenue, consisting of license fees and service & support agreements, from our terminated Pricer partnership. This constituted 14 MNOK in Q4. As of 2026 we will not have any financial contributions from Pricer installations, whilst we focus on growing our Vusion partnership. Building a recurring revenue base from Vusion to cover for the absence of recurring revenue from our earlier partner is a priority, but will take time. Hence, in parallel we engage in both sale, rollout and installation of solutions from Vusion, including ESL, EdgeSense, Shelf Edge camera, and more, to cushion the short-term financial implications.

Our reported EBITDA for Q4 2025 was -5 MNOK, a reduction of 10 MNOK from last year. The majority of this reduction, 7 MNOK, stems from non-recurring items related to external M&A advisers. Over several quarters in 2025, management and the Board of Directors have explored the potential strategic opportunities for spin-off or consolidation of some of our business lines. The work has been facilitated and supported by external M&A advisers, and the related cost for these services has been booked in Q4. We have concluded, for the time being, to put these processes on hold. For 2025 as a whole, we improved our reported EBITDA by 24 MNOK, from 2 MNOK in 2024 to 26 MNOK in 2025.

We strive to make our customers more efficient and sustainable. With this in mind, we were pleased to announce the rollout of our mobile, cloud-based software order management and inventory solution, ShopFlow Logistics, in Q4 with Swedish retailer EKO. Further to this, although not announced, our teams have made significant development with customers across our markets. This includes progress on our numerous proof-of-concepts with UK grocery retailers on Vensafe, as well as for our portfolio of E-commerce solutions.

Building stronger customer intimacy in our core markets in Scandinavia and the Baltics, as well as getting and keeping our other business units – such as the UK & Ireland and Spain – to satisfactory profitability levels is key. As earlier stated, a part of this is also ensuring clarity on the future for our CashGuard Connect solution. Lastly, we are continuing to build on the positive momentum for our e-commerce portfolio, and Order Picking in particular, to win more and more customers globally.

As stated earlier, our path to sustained and robust profitability will have its ups and downs. There are both opportunities to reap and challenges to tackle in the short term. For the medium and long term, the general expectation for retailers to invest more in technology in the future is positive for us. For us as StrongPoint, we plan for international growth whilst we have to be clear on the needed rejuvenation in our traditional Nordic and Baltic markets to continue staying atop. The sustained interest in our diverse solution portfolio and our continued trust by customers, makes me positive about the long-term success of StrongPoint.

Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders, partners, and employees for their continued support and dedication. We are on a journey to further build and strengthen customer relationships through our grocery retail expertise and product leadership in grocery e-commerce. In short, we work to make grocery retailers more efficient and sustainable.

Stay safe, strong, and passionate!

Financial performance

As a large share of total revenue relates to projects and rollouts of multi-year contracts, revenue and profitability will continue to vary between quarters. The key focus remains on generating profitable long-term growth.

Revenue overview

In Q4 2025, the total revenue increased by 1% to 342 MNOK compared to the same quarter last year. This includes a 16% increase in the International segment driven by solid growth in the UK, the Baltics and Spain, offset by a 16% revenue decline in the Nordics segment. For the year, revenue increased 4% to 1,359 MNOK compared to last year, with a 21% increase in the International segment and a 12% decline in the Nordics segment.

Nordics segment

The 16% revenue decline in the Nordics includes a reduction of 18% and 20% in Norway and Sweden respectively. Finland had an increase of 157%. This was mainly driven by lower product sales of low margin ESL hardware, as several large rollouts were completed last year. In addition, the switch from Pricer ESL to Vusion ESL was effectuated in the second half of 2025, leading to lower volumes in the Nordics in the short-term. These declines were partially mitigated by growth in AI scales. For the year, the decline of 12% is a result of an increase of 7% in Sweden, an increase of 3% in Finland, a decline of 30% in Norway.

International segment

The International segment saw a revenue increase of 16%. This was mainly due to an increase of 36% in the UK & Ireland driven by the ongoing installation of our first AutoStore project in the UK, as well as Vusion ESL installation work through the new partnership with Vusion. Spain grew 58%, mainly from the sale of Vusion ESL hardware and the Baltic had an increase of 14% from continued rollouts of Self-Checkouts. This growth was partly offset by a decline in our partner sales due to higher volumes of Grocery Lockers delivered to the U.S. in Q4 2024. For the year, there was an increase of 21% driven by a 53% increase in UK & Ireland and an increase of 21% in the Baltics, partly offset by a decline of 52% in the rest of Europe.

Recurring revenue

Recurring revenue (rolling twelve months) increased by 27 MNOK (7%) to 385 MNOK from the end of Q4 2024 to the end of Q4 2025. This is mainly due to an increase in Order Picking, service agreements from Self-Checkout rollouts as well as growth in license revenues from other third-party vendors.

In December 2024, we announced that we terminated our partnership with Pricer for ESL deliveries and entered into a new partnership with Vusion to deliver their ESL products and related solutions. The agreement with Pricer expired at the end of June 2025, however the recurring revenues relating to licenses and services agreements generated with Pricer over many years, continued until the end of 2025. This comprised 52 MNOK for the full year of 2025, mainly in Norway and Sweden. As of early 2026, this recurring revenue base will cease. As for the rolling twelve months recurring revenue, this will gradually be reduced to zero towards the end of 2026.

The new partnership with Vusion is expected to generate a new recurring revenue base, when Vusion ESLs and related products are delivered to our customers. Considering it took several years to generate the recurring revenue base with Pricer, it is fair to assume that it will take time to generate a similar recurring revenue base with Vusion. However, we have already seen positive effects from this partnership, which has generated 90 MNOK in revenue in the full year of 2025 on installation work in the UK & Ireland and Spain. This amounted to 19 MNOK in gross profit, as compared to the Pricer recurring revenue which contributed approximately 26 MNOK in gross profit for the same period. Although a different quality of revenue, this installation work would not have materialized without the new Vusion partnership.

Gross margin

During the quarter, the gross margin increased from 39% to 42% compared to the same quarter last year due to product mix. This is due to a reduction in ESL product sales (rollouts last year in the Nordics with lower margin) and increased ESL installation revenue in the UK. For the full year, the gross margin increased from 41% to 43%.

EBITDA

The EBITDA decreased to -5 MNOK (-1.4% margin) in Q4 2025 (5 MNOK, 1.5% margin). During the year, potential strategic opportunities have been explored to optimize the product portfolio. This work has been facilitated and supported by external advisors for an amount of 7 MNOK. These projects have been put on hold and hence the cost has been booked as other operating expenses in the quarter. For the year, EBITDA increased to 26 MNOK (1.9%), including the costs described above, compared to 2 MNOK (0.2%) last year.

Operating costs

Personnel costs were 98 MNOK in Q4 2025 compared to 83 MNOK the same quarter last year. The increase relates annual salary adjustments and continued strengthening of our UK and International operations. In addition, Q4 2024 included the full-year effect of capitalizing development costs related to our POS solution in the Baltics, amounting to approximately 5 MNOK. Other operating expenses increased for the period to 49 MNOK (45 MNOK), including the non-recurring costs of 7 MNOK as described above.

The increases are attributable to salary adjustments, inflation and higher IT and hosting costs to support growth in our Order Picking. In the quarter, development costs of 10 MNOK were capitalized, of which 8 MNOK related to CashGuard Connect in Spain and 2 MNOK on POS in the Baltics. Total capitalized costs were 32 MNOK for the year. As per the end of 2025, the total capitalized development costs since the inception of CashGuard Connect and TreeCommerce were 95 MNOK (68 MNOK) and 8 MNOK (3 MNOK), respectively.

For the year, the personnel cost was 380 MNOK (367) and other operating expenses 175 MNOK (157).

Debt

As of end Q4 2025, the net interest-bearing debt was 61 MNOK, an increase of 16 MNOK from 45 MNOK compared to Q3 2025.

Customer success in priority areas

EKO selected StrongPoint's ShopFlow Logistics

EKO, a leading retailer in Sweden, has decided to rollout StrongPoint's ShopFlow Logistics to all its stores to provide instore logistics services. EKO chose StrongPoint's solution after a thorough market evaluation and concluded that StrongPoint's proprietary solution was the best available. This marks an extending of the partnership with EKO as they are already use StrongPoint's CashGuard solution as well.

Vensafe Proof of Concept Progress in the UK

As outlined in previous quarterly reports, a total of five leading UK-based grocery retailers had Vensafe proof-of-concept installations to date. Two of these retailers are planning on launching updated proof of concepts, expanding into new use cases regarding products being dispensed as well as running the projects in additional stores. One of these new proof or concepts is scheduled to launch, while two grocery retailers are currently reviewing their results as part of their evaluation process.

Shelf-Verified Order Picking Launched with Vusion

StrongPoint launched 'Shelf-Verified' Order Picking solution leveraging Vusion's shelf edge camera, Captana enabling grocery retailers to know exactly what is on the shelf in the store real time. This allows for not only better shelf availability in general, but also increases order quality fulfilment of e-commerce orders. Furthermore, the solution allows for grocery retailers to capitalize on quick-commerce opportunity by being able to show real time availability of goods. The solution was unveiled at NRF, the world's largest trade fair in New York.

Long-term strategic projects

Sainsbury's Order Picking Update

At the start of 2024, StrongPoint's Order Picking solution was selected by Sainsbury's, UK's second largest grocery chain, as its new in-store e-commerce solution for scheduled deliveries. At the end of Q4, the Order Picking solution was live in a doubledigit number of stores. We are working closely with the customer to ensure a successful roll-out of our solution over the months and quarters to come.

CashGuard Connect update

CashGuard Connect is a ground-breaking, fully closed loop cash management solution that initially was developed for a major Spanish grocery retailer. In Q3 2025, StrongPoint ended the in-store pilot which had been running for many months after not obtaining the necessary commitment from this potential customer. Since then, StrongPoint has received inquiries from several grocery retailers inside and outside of Spain, expressing their interest in the solution and for concrete store pilots. Additionally, we have progressed very well with a professional manufacturing setup for the solution.

The project is run by StrongPoint Cash Tech S.L., a company controlled by StrongPoint. A local partner company, Hart Automation S.L., with a minority stake in StrongPoint Cash Tech S.L., has helped provide expertise on the project. In 2025 Hart Automation S.L. went into insolvency proceedings. Following this development, StrongPoint has taken legal steps to ensure StrongPoint Cash Tech S.L. maintains the exclusive, perpetual and global rights within retail, to utilize the IP developed for the closed cash loop solution.

CashGuard Connect has the potential to become a defining solution for the Spanish market and for StrongPoint, and for many other markets where cash usage is important. Taking all the above into consideration, StrongPoint's leadership believes that it is in its interest to continue pursuing the realization of the solution and getting it live in stores.

Vusion and Pricer ESL update

In December 2024, StrongPoint terminated its partnership with Pricer after entering into a multifaceted partnership with Vusion. The partnership entailed two contracts: a Value Added Reseller (VAR) agreement and an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) agreement. The agreements with Vusion came into full effect on July 1, 2025. StrongPoint drove the shift from Pricer to Vusion for three reasons:

Firstly, the partnership with Vusion provides StrongPoint with a formal and de facto opportunity to be selling all of Vusion's solutions, as a VAR, across all StrongPoint countries, which we did not de facto have with Pricer.

Secondly, whereas Pricer's solutions were limited to Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), Vusion is not only the dominant ESL provider globally but also provides a portfolio for fully digitizing the retail store, including providing its next generation batteryless ESL, EdgeSense, its shelf edge cameras, Captana, its Retail Media platform and more.

Thirdly, as an ISV, StrongPoint and Vusion give special attention to both promoting each other's solutions with new customers, as well as working on a joint roadmap, integrating and improving our Order Picking solution with Vusion's solutions.

The new partnership with Vusion has driven significant activity for both parties, and we have already generated substantial revenue in the UK and Spain in 2025 related to installation of Vusion-won contracts.

Outlook and long-term ambitions

We are seeing continued improvement in both EBITDA and recurring revenue, indicating a strengthening of the business's core fundamentals and the long-term strategic direction of the company. With variations in project deliveries, fluctuations between the quarters are expected. We continue to maintain our long-term ambitions of healthy revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of >10 %.

However, while StrongPoint's long-term dividend policy remains intact, the current business performance and forecasted need for funding of major growth initiatives do not allow for dividend payment for 2025. The Board of Directors' proposal to the upcoming General Assembly will reflect this evaluation.

Revenue

Revenue in Q4 2025 declined 16% compared to the same quarter last year, driven by a decrease of 18% in Norway and 20% in Sweden. This is mainly due to lower product sales of low margin ESL hardware, as several large rollouts were completed last year. There was an increase in the sale of AI scales, partly offsetting some of the total reduction. For the year, the revenue declined by 12% compared to last year, comprising a 30% decrease in Norway, partly mitigated by a 7% increase in Sweden.

EBITDA

Following the revenue reduction, EBITDA decreased from 16 MNOK in the fourth quarter last year to 15 MNOK this year. EBITDA for the year increased from 52 MNOK last year to 62 MNOK this year, due to improved performance in Sweden.

Revenue

Revenue in Q4 2025 increased by 16% compared to same quarter last year, including solid growth in all core markets, partly offset by a decrease in Rest of Europe. The increase in the UK operations was 36%, through continued Vusion ESL installations and AutoStore projects, both of which are new revenue streams in the UK & Ireland in 2025. The UK operations will continue to be an important market for future growth. Spain had an increase of 58%, also driven by Vusion ESL deliveries including product sale, whereas the Baltics increased by 14% due to Self-Checkout rollouts. Rest of Europe had a decline of 64% due to lower CashGuard sale through partners. For the year, the revenue increased by 21% compared to last year, including solid growth in the UK & Ireland and the Baltics with the same revenue drivers as for Q4, partly offset by a decline of 52% in rest of Europe.

EBITDA

EBITDA for Q4 2025 decreased by 2 MNOK compared to the same quarter last year. This includes year-end inventory write-downs and provisions of 4 MNOK. We continue to invest in our UK & Ireland operations, our product portfolio including the Order Picking solution and the new cash management solution, CashGuard Connect, as we seek to leverage new opportunities from these positive commercial developments.

Key balance sheet items Statement from the Board

Cash flow and equity

Cash flow from operational activities in the fourth quarter was 2 MNOK (77), driven by changes in working capital and other accruals. The Group's holding of own shares at the end of the fourth quarter amounted to 125,426 which represents 0.3 per cent of the outstanding shares. The Group has shareholder programs for the Board of Directors, the Group executive management and employees. 74,136 shares have been assigned in 2025 (186,746 in the year 2024). StrongPoint has a long-term incentive program for management and key employees. More information on the program can be found in note 6.

Net interest-bearing debt

The interest-bearing debt at the end of the quarter was 159 MNOK and mainly relates to two revolving credit facilities with Norion Bank for a total of 140 MNOK, of which 100 MNOK is classified as long-term interest-bearing liabilities and 40 MNOK classified as short-term interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, it includes a term loan in our Spanish subsidiary, booked in long-term and short-term interestbearing liabilities.

Of leasing liabilities, the IFRS 16 rent obligations are extracted from interest-bearing debt, as these are not interest-bearing. The remaining leasing liabilities relate to service cars and company cars from leasing institutions and are thus included in the interest-bearing debt. Any utilization of the working capital financing arrangement in Norway and Sweden is non-recourse and thus not included in net interest- bearing debt. The UK working capital financing is a factoring arrangement in which any withdrawn amounts will be included as net interest-bearing debt. As per the end of Q4 2025, nothing was withdrawn.

As of end Q4 2025, the net interest-bearing debt was 61 MNOK, an increase of 16 MNOK compared to Q3 2025.

Disposable funds were 99 MNOK as of end of Q4 2025, comprising cash and cash equivalents.

With the financing arrangements from Norion Bank, there is a 30% equity covenant. As per 31 December 2025, the equity ratio was 47%.

Method of valuation:

The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. The model uses the following parameters; the exercise price, the life of the option, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the share price, the dividends expected on the shares, and the risk-free interest rate for the life of the option.

Vesting requirements:

The vesting of the options is dependent on the participant still being employed at Strongpoint at the time of the vesting.

Method of settlement:

All StrongPoint ASA options are intended to be settled in equity, but can be fulfilled through a cash-out settlement at the Boards' discretion.

Vesting period

The options will vest over three years, with ¼ vesting after one year, ¼ after two years, and the remaining 2/4 after three years. The split in vesting underpins the retention ambition of the program. Any non-exercised options expire five years after grant.
