Quarterly Report April-June 2025 Q2
Making the internet safer for everyone
The short-term earnings are not satisfactory, but sales momentum returned at the end of the quarter. Subscription sales grew by 32 percent and subscription bookings grew by 41 percent. The shift toward subscription contracts delays revenue recognition but strengthens the recurring revenue base

After several quarters of strong growth, Yubico saw a drop in net sales in Q2. This also had a negative impact on the quarter's profitability. The short-term earnings are not satisfactory, but we remain convinced that investing in research and development and expanding our market reach is the path forward, while being cost-conscious. We are pleased to report a significant recovery in Yubico's underlying sales momentum, combined with key strategic wins. This quarter, Yubico reported bookings of SEK 622 million, which was 8 percent lower compared to the same period last year, but reflects a 3 percent growth in local currencies. Net sales totaled SEK 499 million, a decline of 19 percent, representing a decline of 11 percent in local currencies. EBIT fell to SEK 21 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 4 percent.
When commenting on Q1, I highlighted a slowdown in several customer dialogues, which carried into the first six weeks of Q2. Towards the end of Q2, we saw a significant increase in business, meaning we delivered growth in order bookings, measured in local currencies, for the quarter as a whole. While net sales declined by 19% and EBIT dropped significantly, it is important to view these results in context. There are three key factors to keep in mind that provide a clearer picture of where we are and where we are headed:
Our commitment to profitable growth and delivering strong free cash flow for shareholders remains steadfast. There will continue to be fluctuations on a quarterly and annual basis, but we maintain our longterm financial targets of attaining 25 percent yearly average revenue growth and 20 percent EBIT profitability.
Reasons for optimism: Strategic wins and subscription model shift My optimism stems from two critical developments:
Yubico is back on a path of order growth, securing significant wins in crucial industry segments. We see increasing demand from some of the world's most successful and security-conscious organisations, including leading high-tech, AI, IT security, and financial services. In the AI sector, we're actively protecting the critical assets of many leading players, not only for internal access but also for safeguarding sensitive data and end-users. Cyber fraudsters are leveraging easily available AI tools to automate attacks and impersonate human faces, voices, and digital identities. Phone-based authentication, including SMS and push apps, has also been exposed by recent SIM card attacks, highlighting the weakness of microchips with large operating systems and attack surfaces that can be remotely breached. While other authentication technologies fall short, the YubiKey remains the strongest defender against increasingly advanced phishing and social engineering attacks.
The second reason for my optimism is a significant breakthrough in subscription / YubiKey-as-a-Service sales, which represented over 30 percent of order bookings this quarter. More customers are recognizing the benefits of protecting users with YubiKeys on a subscription basis. This shift is highly valuable for building long-term customer relationships but has a short-term impact on net sales and profitability, as perpetual revenue is recognized upon delivery, while subscription revenue is typically spread over 12 quarters. A noteworthy milestone this quarter was a long-standing Yubico customer, one of the world's top high-tech firms, expanding their partnership through a multi-year YubiKey-as-a-Service agreement. The deal includes converting their existing YubiKey fleet and scaling coverage companywide to new users via subscription. We financed this rapid transition in Q2 while still delivering a profit. To support growth, we also expanded YubiEnterprise Delivery, more than doubling coverage to reach both office and remote users quickly and seamlessly.
While the macroeconomic environment for H2 2025 remains uncertain due to ongoing fluctuating markets, the drop in orders experienced at the end of Q1 and into Q2 appears to have been a temporary setback. We are entering the second half of the year with renewed momentum, already visible growth in order bookings and a healthy, growing pipeline, all of which reflects the trust our customers place in us.
We look forward to welcoming investors and analysts to our Investor Day on November 19. The event will offer an in-depth look at our business model, key growth drivers, and strategic priorities, along with opportunities for Q&A with the management team.

Net sales decreased by -18.8 percent to SEK 499.1 (614.4) million in the second quarter, corresponding to a decrease of -11.4 percent in local currencies. Subscription sales increased by 32.5 percent in the same period and amounted to SEK 79.2 (59.8) million representing 15.9 percent (9.7) of net sales. The overall net sales for the quarter were impacted by the growing share of subscription contracts which delays revenue recognition but strengthens the recurring revenue base for future periods.
Net sales continue to be dominated by the Americas, with 71.7 percent (65.7) of net sales originating in the region, where we see sustained demand from the high-tech and public sectors. EMEA accounted for 19.3 percent of net sales (27.7), reflecting the largest regional decline due to macroeconomic uncertainty, delayed customer decisions, and fewer large deals. While EMEA remains challenging, we see encouraging signs with more new customer wins and increased inbound leads, though deal sizes are smaller. APJ amounted to 8.9 percent (6.6) of net sales.
Net sales increased 0.8 percent to SEK 1,122.1 million (1,113.3), corresponding to an increase of 4.2 percent in local currencies and subscription sales represented 14.2 percent (10.5) of net sales.
Gross profit decreased by -20.0 percent to SEK 394.5 (493.4) million, corresponding to a gross margin of 79.1 percent (80.3). Lower net sales and currency exchange rate changes negatively affected the gross margin, leading to a decline.
Gross profit decreased by -1.4 percent to SEK 883.2 (895.8) million, corresponding to a gross margin of 78.7 percent (80.5).
EBIT amounted to SEK 21.2 (130.8) million, corresponding to a 4.2 EBIT margin (21.3). The cost side is affected by the depreciation of the USD when compared with the second quarter last year. Total expenses for research and development amounted to 80.3 (82.7) million in the quarter. Selling and marketing expenses amounted to SEK 212.6 (195.7) million. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 86.6 (76.0) million. Unrealized currency effects are affecting profit with the net amount SEK 8.3 (-7.2) million. These are reported as other income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss.
The main driver for the cost increase relates to the continued growth of the organization meeting delivery of the long-term growth target, with the number of employees reaching 528 (459) at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 15.0 percent compared to the previous year. Personnel expenses increased by 8.0 percent, in line with the increased headcount but partly mitigated by the depreciation of the USD. Total recognized expenses for the LTIP programs amounted to SEK 26.1 million (14.6) as part of employee costs.
EBIT amounted to SEK 113.8 (215.8) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 10.1 percent (19.4). The cost for the LTIP programs amounted to SEK 46.7 (18.3) million for the year.
The net profit amounted to SEK 8.9 (103.6) million. Net financial items of SEK -10.8 (-1.1) million was affected by unrealized currency effects of SEK -15.8 million related to USD cash balance in the parent company. The effective tax was 14.4 (20.1) percent, impacted by tax deductible expenses, not affecting profit and loss, related to paid out PSU-program in the US. Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.10 (1.17).
The net profit/loss amounted to SEK 60.2 (177.4) million. Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.68 (2.01).



Bookings decreased by -7.6 percent in the quarter, to SEK 621.8 (672.6) million, corresponding to an increase of 2.6 percent in local currencies. We saw a significant expansion in subscription-based contracts in the quarter. At the same time, the total number of perpetual license contracts increased, but the average deal size was smaller, leading to an overall year-over-year decline in order bookings from perpetual contracts. The decline in total bookings was most evident in EMEA, where uncertainty connected to macroeconomic factors continued to affect customer decision-making.
Subscription bookings amounted to SEK 200.8 (142.2) million, a growth of 41.2 percent, and corresponding to 32.3 percent (21.1) of bookings. The largest part being new customers and add-on contracts while SEK 43.2 million are contract renewals. This quarter's growth was driven by new customers and upselling activities, as well as a major multi-year agreement with a high-tech company converting from perpetual to subscription, signed in June. This is a significant and strategic win because it signals that even high-tech companies are recognizing the value of our subscription offering. We continue to see growth and strong interest from sectors such as the high-tech sector, the financial and the public sector. In particular, leading companies in the AI space, spanning both foundational model providers and hardware innovators, are actively deploying our solutions to protect sensitive data and access. In addition, we are seeing continued orders from the European defense industry.
Bookings decreased by -8.5 percent to SEK 1,145.7 (1,251.6) million, corresponding to a decrease of -3.7 percent in local currencies. Subscription bookings amounted to SEK 259.1 (246.3) million, corresponding to 22.6 percent (19.7) of bookings. SEK 52.1 million were contract renewals.
ARR increased by 37.1 percent compared to last year and amounted to SEK 394.4 (287.6) million at the end of the period. The SEK 48.8 million increase in the quarter was driven by several new deals, among them the major multi-year contract with a high-tech company.
Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 123.3 (118.8) million. Net change in working capital amounted to SEK 81.1 (-0.8) million mainly due to strong net sales in the first quarter and yearly subscription payments. Inventory decreased in absolute terms, with a positive net change of SEK 15.3 (-29.2) million. Inventory as a percentage of LTM sales increased slightly to 29.5 percent, compared to 29.0 percent in Q1, due to lower net sales in the quarter.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -12.7 (-15.9) million, including investments in machinery and equipment of SEK -5.8 million and investments in contract assets of SEK -6.8 million.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -4.1 (-6.5) million, whereof SEK -4.6 million is amortization of lease liabilities. Total interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period amounting to SEK 42.9 (59.8) million, of which total lease liabilities amounted to SEK 42.9 (27.3) million.
Cash flow from operating activities during the period amounted to SEK 167.5 (148.2) million. Changes in working capital for the period amounted to SEK 79.9 (-33.0) million. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -16.6 (-20.6) million. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to net SEK -9.8 (-14.5) million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 945.5 (678.2) million. Net cash at the end of the period amounted to SEK 902.6 (618.5) million.

Yubico works continuously to identify, evaluate, and manage risks in different systems and processes. Risk analyses are carried out continuously regarding normal operations and in connection with activities that are outside Yubico's regular quality system.

This section includes certain alternative performance measures (APM) which are not defined under IFRS. These are used by Yubico as Yubico believes that these APMs provide valuable information for investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the financial performance of Yubico. As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, they are not always comparable with similar measures used by other companies. These measures should therefore not be regarded as a substitute for measures defined under IFRS.
