Q3 Performance: Q3 net sales were slightly down year-on-year, but management notes this quarter is seasonally slower and last year's Q3 had an unusual spike.
Guidance Lowered: Full-year net sales guidance was reduced due to delayed large orders (notably Sterna) and a supplier issue with the SKAO project.
Profitability: The company maintained positive EBITDA for the fifth consecutive quarter, with strong margins from data and services.
Cash Flow: Operational cash flow was very negative in the quarter, as expected, due to large payments to suppliers and subcontractors.
Order Backlog: The backlog decreased because expected large orders have been delayed but negotiations are ongoing and the pipeline remains strong.
Growth Outlook: Management expects order backlog and data/services sales to recover and grow in 2026, with new satellites driving growth.
Cost Actions: Workforce adjustments and hiring delays were implemented to offset project delays and improve efficiency.
