On November 5, 2025, Sinch AB (publ), a leader in cloud communications, unveiled its consolidated results for the third quarter of 2025. The report indicates a stable market performance despite several unfavorable currency effects impacting revenues and profitability.
Financial Overview
Sinch reported net sales of SEK 6,659 million for Q3, which reflects a year-on-year comparison to SEK 7,150 million. Notably, while net sales remained stable organically, negative currency trends led to a 7% decline in reported sales. The gross profit for this quarter was SEK 2,318 million, down from SEK 2,406 million, albeit showing a 5% organic increase when excluding currency effects. The EBITDA also followed suit, reaching SEK 851 million, a significant 16% organic increase but impacted by an 8% decrease due to currency fluctuations.
Despite these challenges, adjusted EBITDA held steady at SEK 915 million, down from SEK 923 million. The quarter ended with a net loss of SEK 10 million, improving from a loss of SEK 6,095 million during the same period last year.
Free cash flow showcased a modest decrease from SEK 293 million to SEK 244 million, with cash conversion at 38% over the last 12 months. It is also notable that Sinch repurchased a substantial 15,279,642 shares for SEK 519 million, bringing treasury stock to 1.8% of total shares outstanding by the end of September.
Key Developments
The quarter highlighted several strategic advancements for Sinch. The company solidified its position within the AI landscape, which gained recognition as an essential growth driver by many innovators employing Sinch's API products. Furthermore, the research firm Gartner confirmed Sinch as a Magic Quadrant Leader in the CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) sector for the third consecutive year.
Sinch's venture into RCS (Rich Communication Services) for Business also gained momentum, achieving a complete rollout in partnership with the largest mobile operators in the United States.
