1) Defined in separate section Alternative Performance Measure (APMs)

Q1 2025 continued the strong momentum we built in 2024, and I am pleased to share that we have once again delivered record-breaking results. Revenue reached a new all-time high of NOK 370.2 million, up more than 16% from NOK 318.5 million in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBIT increased significantly to NOK 52.1 million, representing a 50% year-on-year increase compared to NOK 34.8 million last year. This resulted in a robust adjusted EBIT margin of 14.1%, up from 10.9%, and well within our communicated target range of 13-15%.
This performance reflects continued improvements across our operations—driven by growth in our customer base, cost optimization efforts, and the strength of our resilient business model.
Our Managed Services division, which now accounts for approximately 75% of our revenue, continues to perform exceptionally well. We are seeing solid improvements in our operating model, including increased use of nearshore and offshore resources, combined with the benefits from automation and digitization initiatives. These advancements contribute to improved service delivery and scalability, and further strengthen our value proposition to customers.
Our Consulting business has increasingly taken on the role of a global entity. We are now more seamlessly leveraging our collective expertise across countries and regions—enabling us to deliver transformation projects faster, reuse best practices, and respond to client needs with agility. This evolution supports our strategic ambition to provide integrated, high-impact services across all customer engagements.
Our German operations continue to deliver solid results, building on the strong foundation laid throughout 2024. This positive trend has carried into Q1, with consistent improvements in performance and customer satisfaction.

On 14 April 2025, we celebrated our 25th anniversary—a milestone that marks a quartercentury of innovation, growth, and value creation. Since our founding in Oslo in 2000, Zalaris has evolved into a global provider of mission-critical HR and payroll services. Our journey has been defined by a relentless focus on quality, efficiency, and customer-centricity. We are now a team of 1,250 employees, representing approximately 1,150 full-time equivalents (FTEs), spread across 18 countries and 24 locations around the world delivering services to customers in more than 50 countries.
In early 2024, we launched a strategic initiative to define our roadmap for leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance customer-facing innovation and internal efficiency. We've already seen meaningful results—from automating travel expense processing to improving our help desk interface. As part of the SAP ecosystem, we are

also rapidly adopting new AI-driven capabilities into our SuccessFactors-based solutions.
Looking ahead, AI will be instrumental in reducing project timelines, improving operational efficiency, and introducing new time-saving innovations that benefit both our customers and employees.
We recognize that 2025 presents a complex global landscape, including growing macroeconomic uncertainties. However, Zalaris is well-positioned to navigate such challenges. Our business is anchored in long-term contracts delivering essential services like payroll, and our solutions continue to provide cost savings and strategic flexibility for our clients.
With a proven business model, a highly engaged team, and a clear roadmap for continued innovation, we are confident in our trajectory. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to delivering long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Hans-Petter Mellerud, CEO and founder of Zalaris

Revenue for the first quarter 2024 amounted to NOK 370.2 million (NOK 318.5 million). The increase in revenue was +16.2%. Measured in constant currency the increase was +13.1%*.
Revenue growth compared to last year was driven primarily by a 19% increase in Managed Services year-on-year, and accounted for 75% revenue in the quarter. This growth stemmed from new customers going live, as well as geographical and product expansion with existing clients. Additional contributions came from a higher volume of change orders and extra services. Net Retention within Managed Services was approximately 101% in constant currency.
No material contracts were signed in Managed Services during the first quarter primarily due to the timing of final contract negotiations. Several contracts are expected to be signed in the second quarter. The pipeline remains strong, both for acquiring new customers and upselling to existing customers.

Signed contracts that are still to go live as of 31 March 2025, is presented in the table below. The table shows the ARR within Managed Services at the end of the first quarter, and how the Group's ARR will increase, when these contracts are implemented.

*See definitions and reconciliation of APM's in a separate section of the interim report.
The additional net ARR of NOK 81 million represents an increase in annual revenue for Managed Services of +8% (compared to reported revenue for 2024).
The figure below shows the timing of the expected increase in the ARR for Managed Services, based on these new contracts.


Revenue in the Nordic & Baltic region was NOK 184.0 million in the first quarter. Adjusted for currency effects, the revenue was +12.9% compared to the figure last year of NOK 158.3 million. This was achieved through the implementation of new customer agreements, and additional volumes and change orders from existing customers, within Managed Services.
Revenue in the Central Europe region was NOK 151.1 million in the first quarter, compared to NOK 126.3 million last year. An increase of +16.6% in local currency.
The organic growth came mainly from new customers in Managed Services in Germany, and higher revenue from Zalaris Consulting in Poland.
Managed Services in Germany grew by +27.4% in local currency, compared to last year. This is a significant step up from earlier, and underline our growing acceptance as a leading service provider in this very large and strategically important market.
The growth was largely achieved through the implementation of new customers.
Within Zalaris Consulting, Germany and Poland delivered a change in revenue of +1.1% and +26.1% respectively in local currency compared to last year. The higher revenue in Poland came from additional application maintenance work for an existing customer.
Revenue in the UK & Ireland region amounted to NOK 18.9 million in the first quarter, compared to NOK 24.6 million in the same quarter last year, a decrease of 26.2% in local currency. The lower revenue was primarily due to the partial completion of a major consulting project in Zalaris Consulting.
Revenue in the APAC region was NOK 15.0 million in the first quarter, compared to NOK 8.8 million last year. An increase of +69.3% in local currency.
The Asia-Pacific region (APAC) region was established in 2022, with operations in Australia, Singapore and the Philippines, to expand its multi-country payroll capabilities. The revenue growth from the previous year has mainly come from new customers in Zalaris Consulting.


The adjusted EBIT was NOK 52.1 million for the first quarter (NOK 34.8 million). The EBIT growth was primarily driven by increased revenue from new and existing Managed Services customers in the Nordic region and DACH, along with improved customer margins in DACH. The EBIT improvement program for DACH, introduced in the second quarter last year, is delivering results, significantly increasing EBIT in the first quarter compared to last year.
The adjustments made to EBIT were the calculated costs of the Company's share-based payment plan, including estimated payroll tax (negative NOK 3.3 million), costs related to the strategic process (NOK 2.5 million), negative EBIT for non-core business vyble (NOK 1.0 million) and amortisation of excess values on acquisitions (NOK 3.5 million).
Consolidated EBIT for the quarter was NOK 41.7 million (NOK 32.5 million). The positive variance from last year is mainly due the factors noted above.
The Group had net financial income of NOK 1.2 million for the first quarter (net expense NOK 23.9 million), including a net unrealised currency gain of NOK 14.5 million (loss NOK 11.4 million), mainly related to the EUR 40 million bond loan.
The net profit for the quarter was NOK 32.2 million (NOK 6.4 million).
Total comprehensive income amounted to NOK 10.7 million (NOK 22.0 million), after negative currency translation differences of NOK 21.5 million (positive NOK 15.6 million) relating to foreign subsidiaries.
Zalaris targets an adjusted EBIT margin of 13% – 15% by the end of 2026. Our ambition is that each region will have a local EBIT margin of 15 – 20%, before any group charges.
Regions that perform well have a high level of standardization, automation and customer deliveries based on the Zalaris PeopleHub platform and make use of more resources from near- and offshore locations when providing services.
The EBIT target is achieved in the Nordic countries, partly by moving significant tasks from local to near-/offshore locations to reduce operational costs and increase existing capacity for more revenue without hiring new local resources in our key strategic markets.
Historically, the subsidiaries in Germany have delivered significantly lower margins compared to other countries and in the second quarter last year, we further formalized our activities in the form of a DACH improvement program, targeting an EBIT improvement for DACH stand alone of approximately NOK 40 million over the next 12 to 18 months, with approximately NOK 30 million to be realized over the next 12 months, in addition to approximately NOK 10 million that will come from new customer contracts. In the past three quarters, our improvement program has significantly enhanced the EBIT margin in the DACH region.
The main focus areas of this program are:

The Managed Services ("MS") segment had revenue of NOK 277.8 million (75% of total revenue) for the first quarter 2025, compared to NOK 232.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was +16.2% when adjusted for currency effects and was mainly driven by revenue from new customers that have gone live since the first quarter last year and additional services and increased change orders from existing customers.

*The APAC region, which has previously been reported separately, are included in MS and ZC from Q1'25. Historical figures have been revised.
As noted earlier in this report, Zalaris is implementing a large number of new MS contracts. As a result, significant resources are being utilized on contract implementation, resulting in deferred revenue, which will start being recognized as revenue when the projects go live. MS revenue deferred for the first quarter 2025 was NOK 24.4 million, compared to NOK 22.2 million the previous year.
The adj. EBIT for MS for the first quarter was NOK 54.7 million (NOK 32.4 million), and adj. EBIT margin was 19.7% (13.9%). The increase in EBIT is mainly due to higher revenue in the Nordic region and DACH, as well as operational improvements in DACH.
The target is for MS to operate on a standardised platform across all regions. This will secure harmonised operational processes, maximizing use of digitalisation, and take full effect of the flexibility and competence of
resources across all geographical regions, hereunder both locally, nearshore (Latvia, Poland, Spain) and offshore (India). The increased EBIT in MS is partly a result of this harmonisation across regions, including Germany.
Revenue in the Zalaris Consulting ("ZC") (formerly Professional Services) segment amounted to NOK 91.5 million for the first quarter 2025, compared to NOK 85.6 million the previous year. When adjusted for currency movements the increase was 3.9% year-onyear.
The primary reason for the increase in ZC revenue compared to last year was higher revenue in APAC and Poland, partly offset by a reduction in the UK, attributed to the partial completion of a large consulting project.

The adj. EBIT for ZC for the first quarter was NOK 8.6 million (NOK 9.3 million), and adj. EBIT margin was 9.4% (10.9%). The increase in revenue was offset by a higher allocation of regional overhead costs.
Zalaris had total assets of NOK 1,347.3 million as of 31 March 2025, compared to NOK 1,319.9 million as of 31 December 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 227.6 million as of 31 March 2025, an increase of NOK 5.9 million from the end of the previous quarter.

Total equity as of 31 March 2025 was NOK 274.3 million, compared to NOK 260.7 million as of 31 December 2024. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 20.3% (19.8%).
The Company holds 441,984 treasury shares (2.0% of total outstanding shares) at 31 March 2025.
Net interest-bearing debt (interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents) as of 31 March 2025 was NOK 225.6 million, compared to NOK 247.5 million as of 31 December 2024. This decrease was partly due to the appreciation of NOK against EUR, reducing the value of the EUR 40 million bond loan.
The leverage, measured by dividing the net interest-bearing debt at the end of the quarter by the adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months, was reduced from 1.2 as of 31 December 2024 to 0.96 as of 31 March 2025.
Operating cash flow during the first quarter 2025 was NOK 21.6 million (Q1 2024: NOK 7.2
million). The increase is mainly due to higher earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).
Net cash flow from investing activities in the first quarter was negative NOK 4.4 million (positive NOK 35.4 million). This was all related to investment in fixed and intangible assets. The positive cash flow in the previous year was attributed to proceeds from the sale of our office building in Leipzig.
Net cash flow from financing activities in the first quarter was negative NOK 8.5 million (negative NOK 16.9 million), which many relates to the payment of lease liabilities. The cash flow in the previous year included a loan repayment of NOK 10.5 million related to office building in Leipzig.
There have been no events after the balance sheet date, which have had a material effect on the issued accounts.

Zalaris maintains a strong outlook for future revenue growth, driven by recently secured long-term BPaaS/SaaS contracts within the Managed Services division, along with expansions of existing agreements. Most of these contracts will be fully operational during 2025. Additionally, several Managed Services contracts offer significant potential for volume expansion into new countries or additional services. With a robust pipeline of new opportunities, Zalaris remains well on track to achieve its growth targets. We maintain our guidance of average annual churn of 1.5%-3% over a cycle, and an average annual growth target of 10%.
Large scale benefits from revenue growth combined with continued cost optimisation from X-shoring, automation and the use of AI will be the key drivers for continued improved profitability going forward. Key targets for 2025 include further automation of our delivery processes and improved use of our near- and offshore delivery centres in Latvia, Poland and India.
Industry and market research reports indicate sustained growth in Zalaris' key markets for multi-country payroll and HR outsourcing. Zalaris is well-positioned to capitalise on this trend with its competitive technology platform and cost-efficient, skilled workforce. This is exemplified by multi-country contracts with several large German customers. Additionally, growth will be driven by expanding services for existing customers, including broader geographic coverage.
Zalaris has been expanding its geographical coverage both in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen its competitive position.
Whilst the Company previously established its own subsidiaries in new countries, an important revised expansion strategy has been implemented using in-country partners, deploying Zalaris' PeopleHub solution. This secures low risk profitable global geographic expansion, even for low and moderately sized employee volumes.
We are experiencing upward pressure on salaries, and the recruitment of new skilled employees is challenging in some markets. However, most of our long-term contracts within the Managed Services Division have provisions for the annual indexation of salaries, additionally we have established trainee programs, to mitigate this effect.
Historically, there has been a growing market interest in outsourcing during periods when companies prioritise operational efficiencies and cost optimisation. The underlying fundamentals remain strong, and Zalaris continues to maintain a robust pipeline of potential new sales across all regions.
We recognize that we have entered a period of global uncertainty, with the potential onset of a trade war that could affect the economies of some of our customers. Nevertheless, Zalaris is well-positioned to navigate such challenges. Our business model—built on long-term agreements and delivering mission-critical services such as payroll and HR provides essential value to our clients.

These interim consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for a complete set of financial statements, and these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2025, have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
With reference to the Norwegian Accounting Act § 3-3, the Board confirms its belief that conditions exist for continuing operations and that these interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle.

The Company's operations are split into two main business segments: Managed Services and Zalaris Consulting.

This includes additional cloud-based HR functionality to existing outsourcing customers such as talent management, digital personnel archive, HR analytics, mobile solutions, etc.
Zalaris Consulting includes deliveries of change projects based on Zalaris templates or implementation of customer-specific functionality. This business segment also assists with cost-effective maintenance and support of customers' own on-premises solutions. A large portion of these services are of recurring nature and many of the services are based on long-term customer relationships.
Group overhead and unallocated are the costs not allocated to business segments, and are mainly intercompany sales, interest-bearing loans and other associated expenses and assets related to administration of the Group.
Information is organized by business area and geography. The reporting format is based on the Group's management and internal reporting structure.

Disaggregated revenue information

Customer project assets are costs specific to a given contract, generate or enhance the Group's resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are recoverable. These costs are deferred and amortized evenly over the period the outsourcing services are provided.
Customer project liabilities are prepayments from the customer specific to a given contract and are recognized as revenue evenly as the Group fulfils the related performance obligations over the contract period.
Prepayments from customers comprise a combination of short- and long-term advances from customers. The short-term advances are typically deferred revenues related to smaller projects or change orders related to the system solution. The long-term liabilities relate to initial advances paid upon signing the contract. These advances are contracted to be utilized by the customer to either transformation-, change- or other projects. These advances are open for application until specified, or when the contract is terminated, where the eventual remainder of the amount becomes the property of Zalaris and is hence rendered as income by the Group.

Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is defined as the annualised value of revenue the Company expects to receive from SaaS (software as a service) and BPaaS (business process as a service) contracts with customers but excludes change orders that do not result in regular future revenue. The ARR is calculated by taking the revenue for Managed Services in the applicable quarter, adjusted for change orders and contracts that have only generated revenue for part of the quarter (revenue from customers that have exited during the quarter is deducted, and estimated revenue for new contracts that have gone live during the quarter is added), multiplied by four. Contracted ARR includes the ARR at the end of the quarter, plus the estimated ARR of new contracts yet to go live.
The total revenue that a customer contract is expected to generate is called total contract value (TCV). This metric is mainly used in Zalaris Consulting to assess the overall value of consulting projects that are contracted.
Net Retention is the percentage of revenue retained from Managed Services customers over a 12 months period. This figure considers any changes in revenue resulting from alterations in services, products and volumes, as well as any lost revenue from customer attrition. Net Retention at the end of a given quarter is calculated by starting with the Managed Services revenue from the same quarter prior year, but excluding revenue from customers who had not fully implemented our solutions or services in that quarter. The next step is to measure the revenue from the same customers in the current quarter, using a constant currency (ref. definition below). This amount is then divided by the revenue from the same quarter prior year to obtain the Net Retention rate.

The following table reconciles the reported growth rates to a revenue growth rate adjusted for the impact of foreign currency. The impact of foreign currency is determined by calculating the current year's revenue using foreign exchange rates consistent with the prior year.
