ative impact from Netcompany Banking
Services.
Net financials were negative with DKK
46.4m compared to negative DKK 41.1m for
the same period last year.
Income from joint ventures / associates
was DKK 217.2m in Q2 2026 compared
to negative DKK 5.3m in the same period
last year. The improvement was mainly a
result from Netcompany’s acquisition in
May 2026 of the remaining 50% of Smarter
Airports, the joint venture previously owned
equally with Copenhagen Airports. As part
of the acquisition, a fair value adjustment
was made to align the carrying value of
Netcompany’s original 50% holding with
the price paid for the second 50% acquired
from Copenhagen Airports. In addition, a
capital increase was made in Festina Fi-
nance,
which has led to a positive adjust-
ment of DKK 24m in the equity value of the
investment we hold in Festina Finance.
Profit before tax was DKK 239.3m and in-
creased by 232.7% compared to the same
period last year including the dilutive im-

margin in Q2 2026 was negatively impacted
by 1.2 percentage points from the inclusion
of Netcompany Banking Services.
Special items amounted DKK 148.8m in the
quarter, which related to a provision for re-
dundancies expected to be realised during
the coming nine to twelve months. The pro-
vision relates to the ongoing right-sizing of
the organisation, adjustments in employee
mix and realisation of efficiencies following
the full adaptation of Agentic AI in all enti-
ties throughout the Group. The net effect
hereof is expected to have full impact from
the second half of 2027 and onwards.
Depreciation and amortisation were DKK
108.5m compared to DKK 80.6m. Of the
34.6% increase 19.5 percentage points
were related to Netcompany Banking
Serivces.
Operating profit was DKK 68.5m compared
to DKK 118.3m in the same period last year.
Adjusted for the increased special items
expensed in the respective quarters oper-
ating profit increased by DKK 77.3m equal
to an increase of 65.3% compared to the
same period last year, including the neg-
Reported gross profit increased 42% to

pany Banking Services that accounted for
13.3 percentage points of the increase.
Organic gross profit consequently in-
creased by 28.7% to DKK 569.9m. Organic
gross profit margin was 28.3% compared
to 25.8% in the same period last year and
increased 1.8 percentage points sequential-
ly from Q1 2026. The increased gross profit
margin was driven by improved operational
efficiency throughout the Group and a high-
er proportion of licence revenue compared
to last year.
Organic adjusted EBITDA was DKK 289.6m
in Q2 2026 yielding an organic adjusted
EBITDA margin of 14.4% – an increase of 1.5
percentage points compared to the same
quarter last year, including cost associat-
ed with the Netcompany INEOS cycling
partnership of DKK 50m in marketing costs
in the quarter. The increase in the organic
adjusted EBITDA margin was further sup-
ported by limited growth in administrative
costs that increased by 1.5% compared to
the same period last year.

to DKK 324.5m, yielding an adjusted EBIT-

Taxes in the quarter was DKK 42.4m yield-
ing an effective tax rate of 17.7% compared
to 22.6% in the same period last year. The
development in effective tax rate was pri-
marily a result of non-taxable fair value
adjustments.
Net profit amounted to DKK 196.9m com-
pared to DKK 55.7m for the same period
last year – an increase of 253.4%. The in-
clusion of Netcompany Banking Services

by DKK 30.3m.

– as anticipated. Compared to Q2 2025, the
free cash flow improved from DKK 25.6m
to DKK 41.2m in Q2 2026 as a result of im-
proved working capital and better operat-
ing earnings.
