Q2 in brief:
Weaker development in an uncertain market
Trend from 1st quarter with longer sales cycles and clients postponing orders have accelerated in Q2
Impact in utilization and thus growth and margins
Clients still in need of digitalisation projects, but remain in a "wait-and-see" mode
High focus on sales activities, cost control and internal efficiency in all business areas
Challenge to utilize junior or administrative roles, while technical specialist competence still in demand
Demand in defence, cyber security, AI and legal remain good, where Knowit has a strong position
Business area:
Solutions
Nordic market leader in systems development
Challenged by longer sales cycles and some clients reducing investments
Utilization rates impacted, primarily in Sweden and Norway
Planning and implementing measures to reduce costs and increase internal efficiency highly prioritized
Some improvements towards the end of the quarter
