Oslo, 17 July 2026: In the second quarter, Komplett Group delivered improved
performance, as sales efforts and strong seasonal demand mitigated market
headwinds in the gaming and components categories. Disciplined cost management
continued to support profitability improvements, and the group maintained a
solid financial position.
Operating revenue increased by 4.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2026, from
NOK 3 431 million to NOK 3 575 million (+7.3 per cent in constant currency),
supported by good commercial execution and continued positive macroeconomic
conditions.
Gross margin reached 14.1 per cent, reflecting a decline of 0.5 percentage
points compared with the same period last year. The year-over-year development
was impacted by changes in product and segment mix as well as increased freight
costs and targeted price-volume rebalancing in selected product areas.
Operating expenses were reduced by 6.8 per cent as favourable currency
translation effects complemented cost reduction measures and continued
disciplined cost management.
EBIT adj. amounted to NOK 17 million in the second quarter, representing an
improvement of NOK 39 million compared with negative NOK 22 million in the same
period of 2025.
At the end of June, the group's leverage ratio, defined as NIBD / LTM EBITDA
(adjusted for certain items), was 2.4x, down from 3.8x in the same period last
year. The financial position remains controlled and well in line with the agreed
financial arrangements, supported by a solid liquidity reserve of NOK 1 053
million.
The market outlook is characterised by continued headwinds and market
uncertainty associated with price increases for memory chips and fewer product
launches, yet supported by generally positive macroeconomic conditions. Komplett
Group continues to actively adapt and strengthen the commercial proposition
across both established and growth categories, while driving operational
efficiencies and maintaining cost discipline.
"The second quarter of 2026 demonstrated progress across the group, supported by
good commercial execution, operational improvements and a structurally leaner
cost base, in a market environment marked by continued uncertainty," says
Vebjørn Torsetnes, President and CEO of Komplett ASA.
"I believe we are still in the early stages of unlocking the full potential of
the group. A key priority going forward will be to increase the pace of
integration across the group to realise further efficiencies and economies of
scale, while creating better customer experiences," Torsetnes adds.
The presentation material and report for the second quarter of 2026 are attached
