Highlights from Q4 25
Record bookings in the quarter amid currency headwinds:

Strong subscriptions and ARR growth:
Subscription momentum continued, with YubiKey as a Service representing 28% of total bookings. ARR increased 21%
year-on-year to SEK 391m, reflecting a growing, more durable recurring revenue base across priority verticals.
Q4 example: 5-year subscription deal with global IT and systems integration provider in India and APJ.

EBIT was negatively affected by the decline in gross profit, increase in overhead costs, but also negative currency impact of SEK 22.8 million and non-recurring expenses of SEK 6.6 million
