This morning, Columbus released its Q1 2026 Interim Report. Performance for the quarter was below expectations, with revenue of DKK 418m corresponding to a 4% decline, and EBITDA of DKK 26m translating into a margin of 6.3% (Q1 2025: 10.7%). The earnings development primarily reflects a slow start to the year, particularly in January, with weaker-than-expected contribution margins across the Business Lines.
