Comments from the CEO
Accelerating our growth strategy
AAC Clyde Space continued to deliver strong growth and improved profitability during the third quarter, while strengthening our ability to accelerate the expansion of our Data & Services business. Revenue increased by 31.7% year-on-year to SEK 100.5 million, while EBITDA reached SEK 10.3 million. For the first nine months, revenue grew by 25.1% to SEK 280.1 million, with EBITDA of SEK 18.3 million.
Third-quarter performance was affected by delays in a major programme and late deliveries from subcontractors, partly due to global shortages of electronic components. We expect full-year net sales to be toward the lower end of our guidance range. Our expectations for an EBITDA margin of approximately 10% and positive cash flow from operating activities remain unchanged.
Scaling our Data & Services business
Maritime Intelligence remains the cornerstone of our Data & Services business and the primary focus of our satellite constellation expansion. Growing demand for reliable maritime intelligence and connectivity is creating significant opportunities among government and commercial customers. To meet this demand, we plan to launch Sedna 3, 4, 5 and 6 in 2027, followed by another 12 satellites under the INFLECION programme in 2028.
These investments will expand our capabilities in maritime safety, monitoring of shadow fleets and illegal fishing, and support more efficient shipping operations. By building our own satellite infrastructure, we can serve more customers, enter new markets and scale our Data & Services business.
VIREON™, our Earth Observation service, reached an important commercial milestone during the quarter. We successfully captured and processed satellite imagery, completed our first customer deliveries and began recognising revenue. With VIREON™-3 and -4 scheduled for launch in 2027, we are further strengthening our Earth Observation capabilities and expanding our offering to the agriculture and forestry sectors.
Strengthening our capacity
We continue to expand our manufacturing capabilities in Glasgow and Fairfax, while the major Sterna order is driving further investment in Gothenburg. Our integrated expertise in satellite design, manufacturing, operations and data delivery remains a key competitive advantage.
During the quarter, our largest shareholder, Bonnier Capital, completed its investment in AAC Clyde Space, while Swedbank made additional financing capacity available to support future growth initiatives.
Together, these developments strengthen our financial flexibility and ability to invest in our own satellite constellations while meeting customer commitments.
From ambition to execution
We now have financing and production plans for an additional 18 satellites, with six scheduled for launch in 2027 and twelve in 2028. Combined with our growing commercial capabilities, this positions us to accelerate the development of a larger, more scalable Data & Services business.
Our priorities are clear: deliver on our commitments, expand our customer base and translate our investments into sustainable revenue growth and improved profitability. We have spent years building the technology, expertise and market position needed for this next phase. With greater financial strength now in place, we can accelerate our strategy and turn these foundations into long-term shareholder value.
