The earnings call reflects a challenging quarter for the company with declines in sales and profitability due to market uncertainties and delayed large deals. However, strategic moves like the IAR acquisition and a stable customer base provide some optimism for future growth.
Company Guidance
During the Qt Group's Third Quarter 2025 Results Presentation, CEO Juha Varelius and CFO Jouni Lintunen provided detailed guidance regarding the company's performance and future outlook. The company's sales for Q3 were EUR 40.7 million, reflecting a 3.4% decrease in comparable currencies, while year-to-date growth was reported at 1%. The EBITA margin stood at 10.5%. A significant factor affecting performance was the absence of larger deals, with the average deal size being lower than usual. Despite a steady number of deals and unchanged churn rates, customers have been purchasing fewer licenses, opting for minimal investment due to prolonged market softness. Q3 distribution license revenue remained consistent with the previous year, whereas license sales on both QA and Qt sides faced challenges. Personnel increased to 922 as of September 30, a growth of 64 year-on-year. The integration of IAR, following its recent acquisition, is underway, and the company anticipates it to complement its product portfolio significantly. The guidance for the full year 2025 has been revised, forecasting 3% to 10% growth at comparable exchange rates with a margin between 20% to 30%, considering the current market conditions and expected Q4 performance.
Steady Customer Base
Despite challenges, the company has maintained a stable customer base with no significant churn, indicating customer loyalty and continued engagement.
Successful IAR Acquisition
The acquisition of IAR is seen as a strategic move, enhancing the company's product portfolio and creating opportunities for cross-selling, particularly in safety-critical systems like automotive and medical sectors.
Increase in Headcount
The company has increased its headcount by 64 year-on-year, focusing on R&D, product management, and customer-facing roles, which are expected to contribute to future growth.
