In this period, Siili Solutions has adapted its overall offerings to better align with market demands and has launched a new Advisory business area focused on advisory services. Moreover, the company adjusted its competencies to support its AI-driven strategy adequately.
During the first half of 2025, Siili's revenue reached EUR 57.5 million, reflecting a decline of 2.8% compared to the previous year. The company's adjusted EBITA for this period was EUR 2.6 million, representing 4.5% of the total revenue, compared to 5.6% in the previous year.
April to June Overview
For the second quarter, Siili continued enhancing its service offerings. The operating model for Siili One was reformed, which clarifies the continuous services concept. Revenue in this quarter declined to EUR 27.6 million, down 5.9% from last year, with an adjusted EBITA of EUR 1.3 million, equivalent to 4.7% of revenue.
Financial Performance Snapshot
As seen in the detailed performance, Siili Solutions is navigating through challenging market conditions. Revenue growth reflected declines across Group operations due to various external factors. This downturn also stems from fewer working days compared to last year.
The decline in profitability is notable, highlighted by an EBITA of EUR 1.6 million, down from EUR 2.7 million in the same period last year. This has resulted from a decrease in revenue and the additional costs associated with restructuring and redundancy expenses.
Future Financial Goals
Looking ahead, Siili Solutions is optimistic about its financial trajectory, with expectations of revenue between EUR 108 and 130 million in 2025. Adjusted EBITA is anticipated to fall between EUR 4.7 million and 7.7 million. These goals underscore a commitment to achieving at least a 20% annual revenue growth, supported by organic growth and a target of 12% adjusted EBITA of revenue by 2028.
