OUTLOOK FOR 2026 (Updated on 4 August 2026)
Based on the current contract portfolio and market outlook, the company estimates that its SaaS revenue for the 2026 financial year will be lower than in the previous financial year. The company estimates that SaaS revenue from QPR ProcessAnalyzer will remain at the level of the previous financial year.
The company expects EBITDA to be positive and higher than in the previous financial year.
Due to the nature of the business and long sales cycles, quarterly variations may be significant.
The company expects its operating environment to vary by region during the 2026 financial year, with economic growth forecast to remain moderate in several markets. Geopolitical tensions, trade policy risks, and political uncertainty increase uncertainty in the international business environment.
CEO REVIEW
Business development
During the second quarter of 2026, we continued to sharpen our commercial focus, strengthen our partner network, and further develop QPR ProcessAnalyzer as an integral part of organizations' AI and automation initiatives.
The market environment remained challenging, and customer decision-making continued to be slow. The process intelligence market is highly competitive, with several large international technology companies operating in the field. Net sales decreased year-on-year, but our profitability improved significantly as a result of changes in our cost structure and increased operational efficiency. Our key growth metric, QPR ProcessAnalyzer SaaS net sales, declined year-on-year due to a previous customer churn, but increased compared to the previous quarter.
At the same time, we continued to build the foundations for future growth. During the review period, we secured, among other things, a significant new customer in North America, established new partnerships, and made further progress in bringing process intelligence into the use of AI agents.
Development of the partner network and commercial model
We continued to strengthen our partner network and entered into new cooperation agreements in Europe and North America. Through these partnerships, we are expanding our local sales and delivery capabilities and supporting the adoption of QPR ProcessAnalyzer across different industries and markets.
In June, one of the largest public sector organizations in the United States selected QPR ProcessAnalyzer to analyze and improve its high-volume core processes. The implementation will be carried out together with our North American partner, Cognitio Analytics. The agreement represents an important customer reference for us and provides concrete evidence of the potential of our partner-led operating model.
We also launched an operating model that combines the process intelligence, ready-made integrations, and AI capabilities of QPR ProcessAnalyzer with our partners' industry and process expertise. Our aim is to develop repeatable and scalable solutions for selected industries and use cases.
Snowflake and development of AI capabilities
The Snowflake-native implementation is a key part of the technological positioning and commercial model of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. The solution runs directly within the customer's own Snowflake environment without unnecessary data movement or replication. This supports scalability, data governance, and security, while enabling process intelligence to be integrated directly into customers' data and AI architectures.
The MCP interface we announced in April has received a promising response. The capability is already in use by several customers, and discussions regarding its adoption are currently ongoing with new customer organizations as well. It enables AI agents to utilize customers' process data and answer natural-language questions about, for example, process flows, deviations, and bottlenecks.
QPR ProcessAnalyzer serves as a source of the operational context required by AI, bringing the reality of how an organization operates into AI-driven decision-making. We see process intelligence as a critical component of enterprise AI infrastructure and of the governed and scalable adoption of AI.
Market position and customer collaboration
In May, QPR Software was named a Visionary for the fourth consecutive year in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Process Intelligence Platforms. In the accompanying Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Process Intelligence Platforms assessment, QPR ranked second globally in the Process Mining Use Case. We believe these recognitions demonstrate the strong technological competitiveness of QPR ProcessAnalyzer and support our customers' technology decisions, our sales efforts, and the development of our partnerships.
In June, we organized the QPR Summit customer and partner event, which was one of the largest in QPR's history in terms of participation. At the event, our customers shared practical experiences of using process intelligence, data, and AI, while QPR presented its latest innovations. The strong participation and discussions during the event demonstrated growing interest in combining process intelligence and AI.
Priorities for the remainder of the year
During the remainder of the year, we will focus on driving new sales, developing customer relationships, and strengthening our partner-led commercial model. At the same time, we will continue to improve our cost efficiency and develop QPR ProcessAnalyzer, particularly in the areas of AI capabilities, product enhancements that support customer value, and opportunities offered by the Snowflake ecosystem.
The market environment and customer decision-making remain uncertain, and long sales cycles may cause significant variation between quarters. However, new customer wins, a strengthened partner network, and growing interest in combining process intelligence and AI support the execution of our strategy.
I would like to thank our customers and partners for their trust and strong cooperation. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and our employees for their commitment, expertise, and determined work in developing the company.

APRIL-JUNE 2026
Net sales for April-June amounted to EUR 1,146 thousand (1,382), representing a decrease of 17% from the comparison period.

Recurring net sales accounted for 83% (78) of total net sales.
SaaS net sales, which are at the core of the company's strategy, decreased by 10% to EUR 644 thousand (713). The termination of a few SaaS customer contracts had a negative impact on SaaS net sales during the second quarter. QPR ProcessAnalyzer SaaS net sales decreased from the comparison period due to the termination of a single customer contract, while development in the rest of the customer base was positive. SaaS net sales from the company's legacy software products also decreased from the comparison period.

Renewable software license net sales amounted to EUR 35 thousand (43), representing a decrease of 19% from the comparison period. The decrease was affected by the partial termination of license agreements with certain customers.
Software maintenance service net sales amounted to EUR 275 thousand (326). Net sales were negatively affected in particular by the transition of a few customers to the SaaS business model and the termination of certain customer relationships.
Consulting net sales amounted to EUR 114 thousand (274), representing a decrease of 58% from the comparison period. Consulting resources have been reduced partly as a result of the sale of regional intellectual property rights to the QPR Metrics software.

JANUARY-JUNE 2026
Net sales for January-June amounted to EUR 3,093 thousand (2,901), representing an increase of 7% from the comparison period.

Recurring net sales accounted for 68% (79) of total net sales.
SaaS net sales, which are at the core of the company's strategy, decreased by 3% to EUR 1,318 thousand (1,365).

Software net sales increased by 19% from the comparison period.
Software license net sales amounted to EUR 744 thousand (106), representing an increase of 605% from the comparison period. The increase was mainly due to the one-off sale of regional intellectual property rights to the QPR Metrics software.

Software maintenance service net sales amounted to EUR 558 thousand (715).

In addition, the termination of certain customer relationships reduced net sales. These impacts were partly offset by new customer acquisition.
Consulting net sales amounted to EUR 245 thousand (503), representing a decrease of 51% from the comparison period. Consulting resources have been reduced partly as a result of the sale of regional intellectual property rights to the QPR Metrics software.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
APRIL-JUNE 2026
The Group's EBITDA for April-June was EUR 19 thousand (-223), representing an improvement of EUR 241 thousand from the comparison period. Operating result was EUR -164 thousand (-469), representing an improvement of EUR 304 thousand from the comparison period. The result for the period was EUR -174 thousand (-454).
The development of the operating result was also supported by lower amortization of capitalized product development expenditure. The company currently capitalizes significantly less product development expenditure than is amortized from previously capitalized product development expenditure. As a result, the level of amortization of capitalized product development expenditure is expected to gradually decrease, supporting the development of the operating result also in future review periods.
The Group's variable costs amounted to EUR 217 thousand (241). The decrease in costs was mainly due to lower use of subcontracting.
The company's fixed costs amounted to EUR 962 thousand (1,364), representing a decrease of 29% from the comparison period. The decrease in personnel expenses was mainly due to a reduction in the number of employees. Personnel expenses were also reduced by the impact of option rights returned in connection with the termination of the former CEO's employment.
Other operating expenses decreased from the comparison period mainly because growth investments were higher during the comparison period.
The company continued to systematically implement its cost-saving program targeting personnel expenses and other operating expenses. During the comparison period, the company launched a cost-saving program for administrative services, under which outsourced financial administration services were replaced with internal personnel resources. The savings generated by the program were reflected in the result for the review period.
Earnings per share were EUR -0.009 (-0.023).

Operating result was EUR 169 thousand (-710), representing an improvement of EUR 878 thousand from the comparison period. The result for the review period was EUR 146 thousand (-720).
The development of the operating result was also supported by lower amortization of capitalized product development expenditure. The company currently capitalizes significantly less product development expenditure than is amortized from previously capitalized product development expenditure. As a result, the level of amortization of capitalized product development expenditure is expected to gradually decrease, supporting the development of the operating result also in future review periods.
The Group's variable costs amounted to EUR 454 thousand (511). The decrease in costs was mainly due to reduced use of subcontractors.
The company's fixed costs amounted to EUR 2,158 thousand (2,607), representing a decrease of 17% from the comparison period. Personnel expenses decreased mainly as a result of the reduction in the number of employees.
Personnel expenses for the first quarter included a one-off item of EUR 134 thousand related to a change in the company's management. During the second quarter, personnel expenses were reduced by the impact of option rights returned in connection with the termination of the former CEO's employment.
Other operating expenses decreased from the comparison period mainly because growth investments were higher during the comparison period.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.007 (-0.037).
FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
During the review period, the company's free cash flow, which includes cash flow from operating and investing activities as well as lease payments for premises, amounted to EUR 1,033 thousand (-769). Free cash flow improved significantly from the comparison period, mainly due to changes in working capital and the QPR Metrics transaction with Leaders Solutions completed during the first quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities during the review period was EUR 1,122 thousand (-557). The improvement in cash flow compared with the comparison period was mainly due to the higher result for the review period.
Net financial expenses amounted to EUR 24 thousand (39), including foreign exchange losses of EUR 8 thousand (7).
Investments amounted to EUR 80 thousand (191) and consisted mainly of product development investments.
Net cash flow from financing activities was EUR -275 thousand (1,103). The change from the comparison period was mainly due to the share issue carried out during the comparison period.
The Group's financial position is stable. At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 1,403 thousand (1,180), and current trade receivables amounted to EUR 568 thousand (945).
Of trade receivables, 72% were denominated in euros, and 89% of invoices were not yet due. Of the total amount of current trade receivables, approximately 1% was overdue by 1-30 days, 0% by 30-60 days, and 10% by more than 60 days.
The Group has access to a EUR 500,000 credit facility, which was undrawn at the end of the review period.
At the end of the review period, the Group had EUR 250,000 in bank loans, which were classified entirely as current liabilities. The loan matures in December 2026 and is no longer subject to covenant terms.
The Group's equity ratio increased to 48.2% (36.9%). The increase was mainly attributable to a decrease in interest-bearing debt and improved earnings compared with the corresponding period.

The company has identified the following three categories of risks related to its operations: business risks (country, customer, personnel, and legal risks), information and product-related risks (product, intellectual property, data protection, and security risks), and financial and liquidity risks (foreign exchange risk and risks related to short-term cash flow). The company has insured its property, business interruption, and liability risks.
The company's financial risks include a moderate credit loss risk related to individual business partners, which is inherent in international business. The company seeks to limit this risk through continuous monitoring of standard payment terms, receivables, and credit limits.
The company has described its risk factors in more detail in its 2025 Financial Statements and Report of the Board of Directors.
At the end of the review period, 72% of the Group's trade receivables were denominated in euros (55). The company's non-euro-denominated trade receivables were not hedged at the end of the quarter.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
On August 4, 2026, QPR Software issued a profit warning and lowered its guidance for SaaS net sales for 2026. The change in guidance is due to the termination of two SaaS customer contracts. One of the contracts being terminated concerns the company's legacy product.
The termination of the contracts will have a significant impact on SaaS net sales during the second half of 2026, and the company does not expect to be able to fully offset their impact during 2026. The guidance for EBITDA remained unchanged.
According to the updated guidance, QPR Software estimates that its SaaS net sales will decrease in 2026 compared with the previous year. The company estimates that its EBITDA will improve from 2025.
