Columbus is expected to release its Q2 2026 interim report on 19 August 2026. On the same day at 13:00 CEST, CEO & President Søren Krogh Knudsen and CFO Brian Iversen will present the results in a live online event, followed by a Q&A session.
Q1 2026 was a soft start to the year for Columbus. Revenue declined 4% to DKK 418m and the EBITDA margin came in at 6.3% against 10.7% in Q1 2025, reflecting weaker-than-expected contribution margins across most Business Lines, particularly in January. More importantly, management noted that activity levels improved gradually through the quarter and that the positive trend continued into early Q2, supported by a strengthened pipeline, solid order intake and several larger project wins. Norway stood out among the Market Units with 26% service revenue growth on the back of major contract wins in Dynamics 365 and Data & AI, while Data & AI grew service revenue by 23% at group level.
Following Q1 2026 Columbus maintained its full-year 2026 guidance of 0-5% organic revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of 8-10%. Delivering on the guidance implies a clear step-up over the remainder of the year, with the margin recovery back-end loaded and dependent on efficiency improvements and the ramp-up of already signed contracts.
In addition to the Q2 results and how they track against full-year guidance, focus may also be directed toward the commercial traction of Columbus's AI initiatives, including the Agentic Framework and "Agent in a Day", the demand picture across the individual Market Units.
