Sammanfattning
In the first quarter of 2025, Caybon experienced a 17% decrease in net sales, with an 8% organic decline and a 9% impact from the divestment of the FMG business area. The EBITDA was slightly negative, and adjusted EBITDA decreased by 18%. The EBITA was negative, but adjusted EBITA showed improvement. Non-recurring items totaled -5,147 TSEK, and the net profit for the period was -13,870 TSEK. Cash flow from operations was also negative. Significant events included a CEO transition, with Jakob Söderbaum replacing Johan Janing, and a restructuring of Caybon's debt, which involved issuing new bonds and extending bond maturities. The financial structure was strengthened by a cash injection, aiding future investments. The Campaign segment saw a 22% decrease in net sales, influenced by the FMG divestment. However, adjusted EBITA improved due to the absence of FMG's previous losses. The Network segment experienced a 7% increase in net sales, driven by Splay One, although Newsner saw a slight decline. Overall, Caybon is focusing on strengthening sales processes and improving cost efficiency. The macroeconomic environment remains unstable, but no significant impact on marketing demand has been observed. Splay One is developing a campaign management platform to enhance operations, expected to launch in spring 2025. Monica Elgemark was appointed as the new CEO of N365.
