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

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 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.
