Clavister Q3 2019: Positive Adjusted EBITDA

November 20, 2019. Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Clavister, a leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, released its latest quarterly report today.

“We are pleased to report positive EBITDA in the third quarter of 2019, before adjustments related to the divestment of our Chinese subsidiary.

We continue to see a strong momentum in our focused go-to-market activities, with a year-on-year order intake growth of 24%. The largest growth for the quarter, 158% year-on-year, came from the Communication Service Provider vertical. My assessment is that we are advancing into larger business opportunities across the board. I see the proof-points of this as we continue to secure orders with new light-house customers, representing very relevant growth scaling engines for Clavister.”
