Management overview of the first quarter

During the first quarter of 2026, iLOQ Group’s revenue increased by 9% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. When excluding some material delivery related sales to external manufacturing partners, year-on-year revenue growth was 10%, with a strong growth especially in the Critical Infrastructure segment. The new global partner program implementation has continued into 2026, which provides a good basis for future growth. iLOQ has continued to invest in developing its 5 Series+ platform, complementary products and software features. Revenue growth and actions in 2025 on streamlining the operations contributed positively to profitability, as iLOQ continued its growth investments also during the first quarter’s seasonally lower activity. The 5 Series+ platform expansion into other markets is progressing, with first European customers planned to be deployed in the second quarter. At the end of March, net working capital level was higher than at the end of March 2025, mainly due to higher trade receivables. On March 18, 2026, iLOQ announced that Ferry Nekkers was appointed as Chief Business Officer for Europe, following the planned succession after Thomas Thörewik.

Key quarterly performance metrics for the first quarter:

  • EBITDA amounted to EUR -0.4 (1.8) million, corresponding to -2% (8%) EBITDA margin
  • EBIT amounted to EUR -4.7 (-1.8) million, corresponding to -18% (-8%) EBIT margin
  • Operational Cash Flow was EUR 4.8 (4.0) million

Capnor Weasel Bidco Oyj (the ‘Company’) is domiciled in Finland. This Interim Report for the quarter ending on March 31, 2026, comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’).

2. Accounting principles

The Group’s Interim Report for January–March 2026 has been prepared in line with the IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ standard and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s financial statements for 2025. The Group has applied the same accounting principles in the preparation of this Interim Report as in its Financial Statements for 2025. The information presented in this Interim Report has not been audited.

3. Seasonality

The Group operates in an industry that has seasonal fluctuations in revenue. During the last years, the first three quarters amounted to close to sixty percent of the Group’s full-year revenue, while the last quarter revenue was somewhat over forty percent of the full-year revenue. Therefore, in a typical year, the financial results of the fourth quarter can be expected to be stronger than compared to the first three quarters, and this seasonality also affects the cash flow profile of the Group.

In addition to the parent company Capnor Weasel Bidco Oyj, iLOQ Group belongs to the Group. Industrial operations are in the iLOQ Group that offers digital smart-locking solutions. iLOQ Group operates with a network business model in the manufacture and distribution of products, and hence it has only limited own assembly and manufacturing operations. iLOQ Group’s products are sold through iLOQ’s distribution partners that also provide professional installation and maintenance services to iLOQ’s end-customers.

The Group's business operations are managed and monitored as one entity. Subsidiaries are sales organizations, and their revenue consists of service charges from the iLOQ Group's parent company, with the exception that iLOQ USA Inc. has also some direct customer contracts and invoicing. Based on the similarity of business operations, products, services and production process, the Group has only one operating segment. iLOQ’s Leadership Team is the Group's chief operative decision maker, and it evaluates the performance of the Group and the use of resources as a whole.
