(Copenhagen, 26 August 2025) Napatech A/S (“Napatech”, OSE: NAPA) reported revenues of DKK 31.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margins for the quarter were in line with expectations at 67%. The company’s EBITDA came in at negative DKK 19.6m for the quarter. Staff costs in Q2’25 were down 16% compared to Q1’25
“We’ve made significant progress executing against key milestones in our strategic roadmap, reinforcing our position as an early leader in the emerging mass market for Network Interface Cards (NICs). Over the past year, we’ve strengthened our core business and advanced toward critical design wins that support our goal of scaling to 60,000–80,000 units annually at peak production. These developments are tracking to plan, and compared to this time last year, our position is markedly stronger. Together, these gains enhance our visibility into the timing and magnitude of our transformation—while simultaneously reducing risk across our growth trajectory, “said Lars Boilesen, CEO of Napatech
In support of the significant steps forward with our current customers and expanding design-win pipeline, Napatech successfully completed a private placement capital raise of 210M NOK. The Placement attracted interest from high-quality investors, including dedicated support from existing shareholders. The proceeds will be used to finance the growth opportunity arising from the announced partnerships, pipeline, and design wins.
We are inspired by the success we have had in building a pipeline for our new products and solutions. Our partnership with Intel-Altera continues to play a critical role in our strategy by helping to contribute to valuable, high-volume opportunities to our pipeline from leading high-growth applications and use cases. In recent updates, we had noted our expectation of growth from our base business, and we are pleased to report definitive results in that area, along with improved visibility to additional improvements in the second half of 2025. An important part of that strengthening was the increase in sales to our top customers, along with forecasts and commitments from those top customers for increased unit demand over the next 4 quarters. The improving base business, plus a constantly expanding pipeline of opportunities and early success in new design wins, provides great optimism towards realizing our growth ambitions
Last year, we announced a design win with Intel-Altera and a tier-1 server OEM to build next-generation solutions to their specification for high-volume use cases, as well as the general market. I am glad to report that we consistently met the hardware mileposts ahead of plan and exceeded their expectations. We are intimately involved in the next stage of their process, which includes the development and integration of key software to meet their deployment requirements. We are excited that our efforts to date have resulted in expanding our cooperation to additional use cases and opportunities, all of which represent potentially transformational unit volumes to Napatech.
We are equally excited today to share more information about our latest high-volume design win in Artificial Intelligence inferencing for hyperscale cloud, next-wave cloud, and enterprise datacenters. Our Intel-Altra programmable NIC delivers efficient ultra-low latency distributed inferencing across many AI servers. Customers get the benefit of deploying an industry-standard ethernet-based scale-out solution to take advantage of blazing fast inference speeds, all at massive scale. We are on track with our initial design win and are actively replicating this design by pursuing others in need of AI infrastructure.
