NNIT UPDATES 2026 OUTLOOK AND RELEASES PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL FIGURES FOR Q1 2026
NNIT’s financial performance and order entry were below initial expectations in Q1 2026, reflecting continued geopolitical turmoil and sustained customer caution, particularly within the Life Science IT consulting industry.
NNIT updates the 2026 outlook and now expects constant currency revenue growth to be single-digit negative (previously 0 to 5%) and the group EBIT margin excl. special items to come to 4 to 7% (previously 6 to 9%) with a continued focus on increasing operational efficiency and reducing the full cost base. Special items are updated to be “below last year’s level of DKK 83m” (previously “significantly below last year’s level of DKK 83m”).
Background for updated outlook
During 2025, tier-1 customer behavior had a negative impact on revenue generation as projects were postponed and contract sizes smaller than usual. This resulted in a softer development in backlog and pipeline during the first quarter of 2026 having a detrimental impact on revenue and profitability for the rest of the year.
