Sales grew 9% y-o-y, but adjusted for the divestment in Risk Solutions, organic sales growth was 13% y-o-y driven by 16% sales growth in Security Solutions. This was 6% above ABGSCe as sales growth in Security Solutions was stronger than expected. Profitability was also slightly better than anticipated with EBITDA of SEK 1.6m (3.2m); we had SEK 0.3m. The deviation was driven by better profitability in Security Solutions, whereas Risk Solutions was a bit behind our expectations. We argue that progress within Security Solutions is more important long-term since it is the largest business area and has better market conditions.</p><h3 class="bm-h3">'25e sales up 4% and positive EBIT expected</h3><p>We raise our '25e sales by 4% on the back of the stronger than expected Q1 report with higher business volumes in Security Solutions. Q2 looks a bit challenging from a sales growth perspective as the Scania deal is still in the numbers in Q2'24, but the headwind should ease from Q3. We also raise our profitability assumptions driven by more confidence in the company's ability to get back to historical levels within Security Solutions. We now expect EBIT to be positive for '25e (SEK -2m previously).</p><h3 class="bm-h3">Entering seasonally strong quarters with momentum</h3><p>Tempest now enters its seasonally strongest quarters with positive momentum, and we think there are more efficiencies to be gained from the newly entered contracts in Security Solutions as profitability usually improves gradually after the initial start-up period. This is because extra costs associated with additional hirings decrease and Tempest can sell additional services that improve profitability.</p></td></tr></table>
