Highlights Q4
Flexibility in salary models demonstrates the scalability of Webstep's business model and helps protect margins in a challenging market, delivering a full-year EBIT margin of 7.8 per cent adjusted for one-off costs in Q4.
The board of directors proposes for the Annual General Meeting a dividend of NOK 1.49 per share, total NOK 40.4 million

Webstep continues to share knowledge. In 2025, this included AI-related sessions across a variety of forums, ranging from open events to client-specific engagements. Webstep has contributed to the successful DISC initiative in the oil and gas sector.

Key appointments to strengthen the executive leadership, including Regional Director for the Oslo office, national industry leader for oil and gas, and national sales director. These additions are central to reinforce our ability to drive growth, strengthen customer relationships, and integrate industry insight with our technology expertise.

As market dynamics continue to evolve, Q4 was characterised by a strong focus on commercial activities and recruitment. A high volume of contract extensions in December built a solid backlog for 2026, while limited client churn confirms the critical role our consultants play in customers' operations and the high quality of our deliveries.
