"2025 was a strong year with significant milestones for Appear, delivering solid growth while strengthening profitability and maintaining financial discipline,” CEO of Appear Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen said, and continued:
“As global sports media rights values continue to increase, so does the need for resilient, scalable production technology infrastructure. Appear operates precisely at this intersection, providing extremely reliable, cost- and energy efficient hardware and software solutions for sports leagues and federations, broadcasters and streaming platforms, production service providers, and connectivity providers. Live broadcast simply can’t fail. That’s why giants like Formula 1, Netflix, NHL, NFL, Premier League and many more rely on us, and continue to expand their customer relationships year by year.”
The figures in the annual report are fully consistent with Appear’s Q4 report published on February 12 2026. 2025 revenue was NOK 800.9 million, representing 32.3 percent year-on-year growth. Since 2021, Appear has achieved a revenue CAGR exceeding 30 percent. Underlying EBITDAC1 reached NOK 142.2 million in 2025, corresponding to a margin of 17.8 percent. Gross margins remained strong at approximately 72 percent. Net profit reached NOK 129.2 million.

“In 2026, we are sharpening our focus on delivering the capabilities that matter most for our customers and for the future of live production. We will deepen our partnerships with leading broadcasters, streaming platforms and sports organisations in the Americas and EMEA, continue expanding our footprint within live production across Asia‑Pacific, and strengthen our role within both live sports and live news,” Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen ends.
