Talkpools reports first quarter results in line with its plan to scale revenue while managing the cost base. Investments aimed at boosting future profits have substantially increased.

This requires financial discipline – ensuring that growth investments remain within the bounds of operational profitability.

The quarter in brief

January – March 2026

• Net sales of EUR 4 756 thousand (compared to EUR 4 227 thousand in Q1 2025)
• EBITDA of EUR 307 thousand (EUR 622) and EBITDA margin of 6.5 % (14.7 %)

• Net Earnings After Tax of EUR 113 thousand (EUR 343) and net EAT margin of 2.4 % (8.1 %)

January – March key developments

• Strong organic top-line growth of 12.5 %, in line with long-term targets.
• The company continues to hire staff and invest in future growth. These growth investments are necessary to enable new revenue streams with higher future profit margins. The increased costs are expected to put short-term pressure on profit margins throughout 2026.

The German business is still Talkpool’s best performing market, currently undergoing a planned sales-driven transformation from a project organisation towards a more structured corporate set-up.
• The balance sheet continued to strengthen, enhancing financial stability and future investment capacity.
• Preparations to accelerate the new phase of sustained growth intensified. Talkpool’s team is focused on sustaining delivery of ongoing services while simultaneously advancing new initiatives aligned with the strategic framework.
