Oslo, October 29, 2025 - Smartoptics Group ASA (Smartoptics, OSE: SMOP) today
reported revenues of USD 19.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing
a growth of 46.2 percent. The gross margin for the quarter reached 49.5 percent,
up from 47.4 percent in the same period last year. Third quarter EBITDA was USD
2.4 million (Q3 2024: 1.1 million). Excluding non-recurring cost of USD 0.7
million related to the uplisting to Euronext Oslo Børs, EBITDA was USD 3.1
million, equaling an EBITDA margin of 16.5 percent (8.3 percent).
"Smartoptics continues to deliver strong results aligned with our long-term
growth strategy. This quarter marks our second consecutive all-time high
quarterly revenue. Our scalable business model continues to drive
profitability," says Magnus Grenfeldt, CEO of Smartoptics, and continues:
"The momentum we see in Smartoptics reflects continued investment appetite
across all our customer segments, particularly related to data centers, where
the strong demand is partly related to the rapid adoption of AI technologies. We
are proud to have secured orders from leading neo-scalers and large operators
across EMEA and the US, validating our strategic focus to deliver competitive
solutions for larger accounts."
In the third quarter, Smartoptics saw growth across all product areas. This was
mainly driven by the range of high performance new-generation products launched
in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, the business area Optical Devices is
increasingly showing momentum.
Earlier this year, Smartoptics launched its ambition to increase market share
with two to three times in relevant markets, targeting an EBIT margin in the
range of 13-16 percent.
"Our confidence is grounded in the strength of our flexible, best-in-class
solutions, our attractive modern software suite, growing traction among large
accounts, and our agility as a mid-sized industry challenger," said Magnus
Grenfeldt.
