Oslo, 13 May 2025: Spir Group ("the Group", OSE: SPIR) increased revenues by 20
percent in Q1 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024 to NOK 315.8 million,
while EBITDA improved by 54 percent to NOK 50.5 million. Cash EBITDA increased
by NOK 20 million, reaching NOK 29.9 million. The growth was driven by 24
percent growth in the real estate business area, while the public administration
business area continued its steady growth with revenue up 3 percent and run-rate
ARR up 8 percent compared to one year earlier.
"The strong performance in our real estate segment is not solely driven by
increased market activity, we are also beginning to see clear benefits from our
strategic initiatives. We are pleased to report a robust start to the year with
accelerated revenue growth and enhanced financial metrics," says Per Haakon
Lomsdalen, CEO of Spir Group.
The Group's annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased by 10 percent compared to
Q1 last year, reaching NOK 439 million. Spir Group delivers its offerings as
recurring subscriptions, transaction-based data & software sales, and consulting
services related to implementation and utilization of its solutions.
The public administration service, operating through Sikri, maintains a steady
rate of organic growth. Sikri continues to operate with high margins and a
commercial momentum, while Cash EBITDA grew 50 percent to NOK 14 million. Sikri
operates with long contracts, low churn and an increasing share of subscription
revenues.
"Looking ahead, a key priority for the Group will be to further strengthen our
overall Cash EBITDA. The strategic measures we have implemented are already
yielding solid results, yet we see untapped potential. The start of 2025 marks a
positive step forward, and we look forward to building on this momentum and
leveraging our strong market positions," says Lomsdalen.
