(Oslo, 5 November 2025) - LINK Mobility reports solid Q3 performance with a
reported gross profit and adjusted EBITDA of NOK 401 million and NOK 195
million, respectively, and record contract wins for the quarter of NOK 43
million. The growth momentum, including SMSPortal, resulted in organic gross
profit growth of 6% in stable currency and 9% organic adj. EBITDA growth, while
the adj. EBITDA margin expanded by 1.5 percentage points year over year. This
quarter, LINK is introducing a shareholder return policy, targeting an ordinary
distribution for 2025 of NOK 300 million through a combination of cancelling
treasury shares and potential buybacks with subsequent cancellations. LINK's M&A
pipeline is stronger than ever, with six targets in due diligence and 10
prioritized targets representing a potential cash EBITDA contribution of more
than EUR 50 million, fueled by a high activity level and continued pipeline
expansion. The SMSPortal acquisition, expected to close by the end of November,
is delivering growth momentum as anticipated, with 9% year-over-year gross
profit growth in the quarter.
