Comment from CEO Jørn Larsen:
“The second quarter and first half of 2024 has been more challenging than we expected going into the year. Amongst private enterprises, we have not yet been able to grow new engagements to a size where they compensate for the loss of revenue from engagements that were delayed or stopped in Q4 and Q1. So overall, revenue for the first half of 2024 was at the same level as in 2023. However, I am pleased to see that after a tough start to the year in our public business in Denmark, we are now winning and delivering on new engagements that have made up for the reduction of scope in other engagements. Our profitability is still below where it should be but we are progressing according to plan with our strategic initiatives. These include selling more of our own software products and platforms, getting our conference activities to run better, and reorganizing our teams and delivery model in Cyber Protection. While we continue investing in business development to widen our sales pipeline, we are at the same time working hard at finding more efficient ways of working to control our costs. We will continue to pursue M&A in the current slow market environment. In Q2, we announced three small acquisitions with high growth potential: Marstrand in Denmark (planning intelligence tools), Spantree Technology Group in the US (scaling of mission-critical systems), and Sapere Group in Denmark (SAP integration). With all the groundbreaking work we are being recognized for, I am still very positive about the medium- and long-term prospects for Trifork Group, even if 2024 is not turning out to be as good as expected.”


The financial outlook for 2024 was updated on 19 August 2024 (see company announcement 29/2024) to the following:

  • Revenue is expected in the range of EURm 215-220 (previously EURm 220-230) equal to 3.4-5.8% growth. Inorganic revenue is still expected to be EURm 5.4.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in Trifork Segment is expected in the range of EURm 31-34 (previously EURm 34-38)
  • EBIT in Trifork Group is expected in the range of EURm 14-17 (previously EURm 17-21).

Main events in the second quarter of 2024

  • Inspire
    In Q2, conference activities increased but it was still at a recovering level. We saw early positive results from the reorganization initiated in Q1 with a breakeven EBITDA. Looking ahead, the planned conferences for the second half of 2024 are progressing better than they were at the same time in the past years. In August, we reached one million subscribers on our YouTube channel and thus passed an important milestone. Our workshop activity was high in the quarter as we continue to embrace technology partnerships and business development. In Q2, we co-hosted events with amongst others Nvidia, SAP, Apple, Porsche, Microsoft, Lenovo, and GitHub. 375 people representing existing and potentially new customers attended these events. We are currently working with multiple enterprises on qualifying business cases on Apple Vision Pro and with vision AI.

  • Build
    Overall, Q2 revenue was similar to the same quarter last year. The underlying performance was a bit weaker than expected. The majority of Build revenue comes from Smart Enterprise, which grew revenues by 8.5% in Q2 and 6.6% in the first half of the year. We have seen new engagements starting in the public administration in Denmark, resulting in a small growth of 4% in the first half of the year despite other existing contracts reducing in scope. We are cautiously optimistic about improving momentum in our public business after a slow start to the year. In the private sector in Denmark and other countries, the business environment continued to be slow.

  • Run
    Revenue in Run declined by 19.2% in Q2 (all organic) compared to the same quarter last year. The main reason behind the decline was EURm 3.2 less revenue deriving from non-core third-party licenses and hardware. Adjusted for this, the underlying growth rate in the core Run business (Licenses & Support, Hosting, and Security) was 1.5%. Two international Cloud Operations customers were onboarded in the quarter, drawing significant resources to ensure a smooth go-live. The second half of the year is expected to exhibit growth in our core recurring revenues in Cloud Operations. Within Cyber Protection, our managed services business grew by a double-digit rate in Q2.

  • Trifork Labs
    In Q2, Trifork Labs completed an early-stage investment in the digital health platform Rokoko Care in Denmark, and a planned follow-up investment in Bluespace Ventures, which owns the Compassana digital health platform in Switzerland.
