Total revenue increased 11% year-on-year to NOK 376m, with EBITDA increasing
58% to NOK 28m.
At the end of the quarter Xplora had 474k subscriptions, an increase of 32%
compared to the same period last year. This contributed to 15% growth in
service revenue to NOK 92m, whereas device revenue increased 10% to NOK 284m.
Xplora exited Q1 2026 with an ARR of NOK 367m, up 15% from NOK 319m at the end
of Q1 2025.
The company has outlined three strategic levers to drive growth towards the
target of one million subscriptions: expanding its scope of products and
services, broadening its customer reach, and entering more geographical
markets.
“During the quarter, we broadened our product portfolio with the XploraOne
feature phone for children, delivered on important steps towards the senior
SIM service sales in retail, as well as progressed in the development of
premium services for seniors, all of which will be important growth drivers
for the group’s subscription base” says CEO Sten Kirkbak.
The total subscription base of 474k currently reflects activity in the
children’s market within the Children & Youth segment, as the company is in
the early stages of converting the customer bases in the youth and senior
markets into subscriptions and recurring services revenue. Mobile
subscriptions totalled 299k, with the Nordics still accounting for the
majority, while Germany remained the strongest growth driver.
The group sold a total of 370k connectable devices in Q1 2026, an increase of
15% compared to Q1 2025. This comprised 326k senior phones (+10%) and 44k
devices in the Children & Youth segment (+69%). Q1 is the seasonally slowest
quarter for device sales, especially for the children smartwatch market.
“We continue to show healthy year-on-year growth, and operationally we are
advancing in accordance with our strategy towards becoming the leading
European IoT platform for family-focused connected devices and services”
Kirkbak adds.
