CEO Comment
Shareholders in Synexo Group AB,
Q1 was a quarter where things continued to move in the right direction. Live ARR reached SEK 6.03m, up 76% year-on-year, and total contracted ARR hit SEK 10.2m by end of March. Both current subsidiaries contributed to the growth, and the backlog of signed but not yet live contracts gives us good visibility into Q2 and beyond.
The subsidiaries continues to deliver positive EBITDA and on group level, we expect to reach profitability by the end of Q2 as we scale the remaining overhead cost. Boosting this scalability is our positive gross margin trajectory, which reached 66% in Q1, towards >70% following our data center migration in Q1 and improved supplier terms.
On M&A, we moved from letter of intent to signed Share Purchase Agreement on Deploi after the quarter ended. Deploi is a Norwegian cloud and infrastructure provider with its own data centres in Oslo and its CEO, Martin Johansen, will take on the role of CTO in the Group. Martin has strong technical expertise, so this is something we see as a significant advantage. The strategic fit is clear: our existing businesses protect and recover data - Deploi provides the infrastructure to store and run it, offering immediate revenue synergies through our existing distribution model on top of a stand-alone accretive deal at 3.7x EBITDA.
We also announced a proposed rights issue to finance the acquisition and other M&A opportunities. We structured it to be as accretive as possible for existing shareholders, with the offer price reflecting a premium to the current market price, and management and the board are participating with approximately 1/3 of the rights issue. Our M&A pipeline consists of 33 targets, with 8 in active dialogue representing ~109M SEK ARR.
The market continues to move our way. Demand for solutions built on local infrastructure, data sovereignty and regulatory compliance is growing - driven by geopolitics, regulation and a broader shift away from dependency on global hyperscalers. Our superior product offering and commercial focus leaves us in a position to continue grabbing market share while riding the wave.
Our 2026 targets remain: exceed SEK 12m in live ARR, exceed SEK 18m in contracted ARR, and push gross margin above 70%
Sincerely,
Sindre Sørlie
