Prevas reported mixed first-quarter results, with revenue declining modestly but margins improving as the company focused on utilization and cost discipline. Revenue for the three months ended March 31 came in at SEK 425.80 million, down 1.1% from the same period a year earlier, while adjusted EBITA margin expanded to 9.3%.
The company recorded an operating profit of SEK 31.90 million for the quarter and EBITA of SEK 35.70 million. Net income was SEK 20.60 million. Management said the adjusted margin improvement reflected better resource utilization and tighter cost control across the business.
Operating profit was held back by restructuring charges related to operations in Denmark and Sk e5ne. Prevas described these measures as intended to strengthen efficiency and margins going forward, indicating the costs were taken to address underperforming areas and position the company for improved profitability in subsequent periods.
Prevas highlighted the role of artificial intelligence in its operations, noting AI has contributed to increased efficiency both internally and in engagements with customers. The company said this dynamic is expected to have a continued positive influence on internal productivity and on how it delivers services to clients.
After the quarter closed, Prevas announced a record enterprise asset management contract worth SEK 80 million. The company said it expects this agreement to reinforce its footprint in the Nordic market.
Looking ahead, Prevas said it is taking steps to strengthen units that have underperformed to support margin improvements. The company reiterated that ongoing efficiency gains and adoption of AI will be components of its strategy to enhance performance across operations.
