Columbus expects to release its Q1 2026 interim report on 7 May 2026. The same day at 13:00 CET, Columbus' CEO & President Søren Krogh Knudsen and CFO Brian Iversen will present the results and answer questions from the audience during a live online event.
In connection with the Annual Report 2025, published on 12 March 2026, Columbus announced guidance for 2026 of organic revenue growth of 0–5% and an EBITDA margin of 8–10%. This represents a return to growth after a challenging 2025, where revenue declined by 5% to DKK 1,576m and the EBITDA margin landed at 7.2%. The 2026 guidance reflects a continued focus on cost discipline, execution quality and profitability, while the company positions itself for gradual improvement.
The full-year 2025 results showed some encouraging signs beneath the surface. Q4 2025 delivered sequential margin improvement to 9.2% (from an adjusted 6.9% in Q3 2025), indicating that rightsizing initiatives are gaining traction. Columbus also secured new projects from both existing and new customers in Q4, with early signs of improving customer activity.
Columbus maintained its long-term financial ambitions of 10% annual revenue growth and 15% EBITDA margin as part of its New Heights strategy. However, these targets will not be achieved by the end of the current strategy period in 2026, and the timing is under review as part of an ongoing strategy process. A new strategy is expected to be announced in early November 2026.
In addition to the financial results for Q1 2026, focus will be on whether the momentum seen in the latter part of 2025 is continuing and how Q1 2026 sets the company up to deliver on its 2026 guidance. Furthermore, market conditions and customer activity levels could attract attention.
