North Media (One-pager): Guidance maintained despite volume weakness in Q1 2025

Read the latest North Media one-pager following its Q1 2025 interim report, which includes a brief description of North Media, valuation perspectives relative to a peer group, and several key investment risks and investment reasons.

Q1 2025 results reflected continued pressure on earnings with revenue down 3% and EBIT turning slightly negative (DKK -1.4m). The weaker performance in Last Mile, especially at SDR, was partially due to lower volumes from Easter promotions falling into Q2 in 2025 rather than in Q1 in 2024. Last Mile results were partially offset by strong momentum in BoligPortal, which grew 10% and delivered a 26% EBIT margin. A negative return on the securities portfolio (DKK -152m) drove a net loss of DKK 115m for the quarter.

Despite the weak start to the year, management maintained full-year guidance, highlighting confidence in the transformation of SDR and the continued digital scaling of BoligPortal and Dayli (formerly MineTilbud). The investment case remains underpinned by balance sheet strength, low valuation, and potential operating leverage from ongoing restructuring.
