Sinch AB Interim Report Overview

In a recent announcement, Sinch AB revealed its interim report for the first half of 2025, showcasing resilient performance despite some adversities, particularly from currency fluctuations. This report covers pivotal insights regarding the company's financial status from January to June as well as detailed performance metrics for the second quarter that concluded in June.

Financial Highlights - Q2 2025

For the quarter ending June 2025, Sinch reported net sales of SEK 6,616 million, experiencing a slight decline from SEK 7,041 million in the previous year. Nonetheless, the company achieved an organic growth rate of 2%, affirming its growth trajectory amidst challenging currency effects that negatively impacted net sales by 8%.

Sinch’s gross profit for the quarter was SEK 2,322 million, a marginal decrease from SEK 2,386 million year-over-year. Encouragingly, gross profit increased by 4% organically, driven by contributions from various regions and product categories, notwithstanding a 9% adverse impact from currency fluctuations.

A deeper dive into the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) revealed a figure of SEK 760 million, which is slightly down from SEK 792 million. This statistic translated to a 4% organic increase, but was also affected negatively by 8% due to currency challenges. Adjusted EBITDA remained stable at SEK 869 million with a commendable 8% organic growth.

The profit after tax was recorded at SEK 25 million, considerably lower than SEK 95 million from the previous year. In contrast, both basic and diluted earnings per share landed at SEK 0.03, down from SEK 0.11.

The figures for the six months leading up to June also reflected mixed results. Net sales reached SEK 13,665 million, which is marginally lower than the SEK 13,833 million from the previous year, with an organic growth of 3%. Again, currency effects hit hard, imposing a negative impact of 4%.

The gross profit during this period stood at SEK 4,730 million, increasing organically by 4%, bolstered by contributions from diverse sectors, yet faced a 3% blow from currency adjustments. EBITDA amounted to SEK 1,500 million, marking a slight 1% organic decrease with a negative currency impact of 2%. Adjusted EBITDA was reported at SEK 1,758 million, showcasing an 8% organic increase even after factoring in a 2% adverse currency effect.
