Atea delivered strong profit growth in the fourth quarter, driven by higher sales, increased gross margins, and relatively low growth in operating expenses.

Gross sales in Q4 increased by 7.8% to NOK 17.8 billion. Hardware sales grew by 5.4%, software/cloud sales grew by 11.0%, and services sales grew by 7.6% from last year.

Net revenue (IFRS) grew by 6.1% to NOK 11.3 billion. Gross profit was NOK 3,087 million, up 9.0% from last year. Atea's gross margin was 27.4% in Q4 2025, up from 26.7% last year, due to an increased hardware margin and a higher proportion of software/cloud in the revenue mix.

EBIT before restructuring costs grew by 23.7% to NOK 488 million. Restructuring costs were NOK 8 million, compared with NOK 39 million last year. EBIT after restructuring costs grew by 35.1% to NOK 480. Net profit after tax grew by 35.7% to NOK 333 million.

Cash flow from operations was an inflow of NOK 2.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. Atea had a net cash balance of NOK 975 million at the end of Q4 2025, as defined by Atea's loan covenants.

For the full year 2025, gross sales were NOK 60.2 billion, up 11.7% from last year. Net revenue (IFRS) grew by 8.1% to NOK 37.4 billion. EBIT before restructuring costs grew by 15.4% to NOK 1,385 million. Net profit was NOK 878, up 14.4% from last year.

Based on higher profit, strong cash flow and a healthy balance sheet, the Board will propose to the 2026 AGM an increase in the annual dividend to NOK 7.50 per share. The dividend represents a payout of approximately 95% of Atea's net profit after tax in 2025.

Atea CEO Steinar Sønsteby commented: "2025 has been an excellent year for Atea, with high growth rates across all lines of business. Our market position is stronger than ever, as seen by the large new contracts we have won over the last year. Our company has also developed its internal capabilities, and we have taken major steps to enhance our operations in multiple business areas. I would like to congratulate all of our 8,000-plus employees for a job well done, and look forward to building on our momentum into the coming year."
