Oslo, 15 August 2025 -- Xplora Technologies AS ("Xplora") today published its
results for Q2 25, delivering record high EBITDA of NOK 51m, following
structural margin improvements across the Group. Xplora showed healthy growth
in the Kids & Youth segment, and the entry into the Senior segment through the
acquisition of Doro AB earlier in the year has added significant scale and
enhances profitability. Xplora is expanding its market reach with the launch
of new subscription services in both the Kids & Youth and Senior segments in
the quarter.
Revenue in Q2 25 was NOK 463m, an increase of 143% from Q2 24. Recurring
revenue from high-margin services increased by 25% year-on-year to NOK 82m,
translating to an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of NOK 327m. The subscription
base increased by 40% to 393k. While the subscription base currently reflects
only the Kids & Youth segment, the group has begun introducing subscription
services also in the Senior segment.
"Our performance this quarter reflects both strong execution and continued
progress on our long-term strategy," said Sten Kirkbak, CEO of Xplora. "The
Kids & Youth segment remains reliable growth engines, and we have now launched
new high-margin service models in both the Youth and Senior markets. With a
broader product and service offering, a growing subscription base, and strong
financial flexibility, we are in a great position to accelerate further on our
road to one million subscriptions."
Gross profit rose by 152% to NOK 231m, driven by favorable product mix, and
improved margins on next-generation devices. EBITDA increased to NOK 51m in Q2
25, up from NOK 18m in Q2 24, supported by increased operational leverage and
continued cost discipline. Xplora ended the quarter with NOK 530m in cash.
For the first half 2025, group revenues reached NOK 802m, up 160% from NOK
308m in the same period last year. Excluding the contribution from the Senior
segment, revenues increased 8% to NOK 334m supported by an increase of 26% in
recurring service revenue which ended at NOK 161m. Gross profit for the first
half 2025 was NOK 422m, compared to NOK 160m in the same period last year.
