Digia Maintains 2026 Guidance Despite 16.7% First-Half EBITA Drop

Key Facts

1The 2026 guidance targets growth from EUR 217.0 million of sales and EBITA of at least EUR 21.3 million.
2First-half EBITA fell 16.7% to EUR 6.4 million, with the margin narrowing to 5.8%.
3Earnings included EUR 2.0 million of non-recurring items: EUR 1.1 million of project write-downs and EUR 0.9 million of restructuring costs.

Digia's current investor page says its 2026 guidance still calls for net sales to grow from EUR 217.0 million in 2025 and for operating profit before acquisition-related amortization (EBITA) to remain at or exceed EUR 21.3 million. Its official half-year report repeats that outlook, so the disclosures inspected do not substantiate the original claim of a guidance cut.

The outlook remains in place despite weaker first-half profitability. Net sales rose 2.9% to EUR 110.7 million from EUR 107.5 million, while EBITA fell 16.7% to EUR 6.4 million from EUR 7.7 million and its margin narrowed to 5.8% from 7.1%.

First-half earnings included EUR 2.0 million of non-recurring items: EUR 1.1 million of customer-project write-downs and EUR 0.9 million of restructuring costs. Recognizing those items as expenses or project-related losses reduces EBITA, helping explain why the margin contracted even as sales increased.

In the second quarter, sales increased 1.0% to EUR 54.3 million from EUR 53.7 million, while EBITA held at EUR 3.1 million, up 0.1%, for a 5.8% margin. Digia is scheduled to publish its January–September 2026 business review on October 27, 2026, providing the next checkpoint for progress toward the full-year outlook.
