Trifork Group Completes Major Divestment in Security Sector
Trifork Group AG has just achieved a significant milestone with the completion of a 51.0% divestment of Trifork Security A/S. This strategic move not only reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening its operations but also demonstrates its foresight into the evolving cyber landscape.
Details of the Transaction
In mid-August, Trifork Group reached an agreement to sell the majority stake of Trifork Security to Wingmen Solutions ApS. The closing of this transaction required obtaining regulatory approval, which was successfully secured just days before the finalization. This step marks the transition of Trifork Security A/S into a joint venture aimed at establishing a leading position in the Danish cybersecurity market.
Impact on Trifork Group
Effective from the end of October, Trifork Security A/S will no longer be part of Trifork Group's consolidated financials. This shift decreases Trifork Group’s ownership from 84.6% to 41.5%. The transition is not merely a change in numbers but is expected to influence the group's operational and financial strategy moving forward.
Expected Financial Outcomes
The deconsolidation is expected to impact Trifork Group's financial results for the year significantly. Preliminary estimates suggest that group revenue will reflect a decrease of approximately EUR 1 million. Notably, the adjusted EBITDA for the Trifork segment is expected to remain unchanged, reflecting a strategic pivot rather than a financial loss. Conversely, the group's EBIT is projected to see an increase of around EUR 3 million, indicating potential growth avenues following the divestment.
Future Outlook
With the Q3 2025 Report set to be published, stakeholders are eager to see how this strategic divestment shapes the future of Trifork Group. Positioned in a fast-moving digital world, the group aims to leverage this transition to focus on innovation and development within its remaining business units.
