Atea, whose shares are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, has scheduled its third-quarter report for October 22, 2026, at 08:00, according to its official financial calendar. The date follows growth in the company's revenue and operating profit in the second quarter of the same year, according to its earnings announcement for that period. Revenue reported under International Financial Reporting Standards rose to 10.4 billion Norwegian crowns. The year-on-year increase in revenue was 14.1%, according to the company's announcement. Earnings before interest and taxes reached 320 million Norwegian crowns in the second quarter. These earnings rose 19.2% year on year, outpacing revenue growth in the same period.

In its first-quarter 2026 report, Atea linked the growing use of artificial intelligence to customer spending on IT infrastructure and support services. The company said the impact of this use extends across a broad range of IT infrastructure on which customers spend. At the component level, the same report pointed to a sharp rise in global demand for memory and processors in the months before its release. The company attributed this increase to the "rapid expansion of new AI data centres". The first-quarter report thus addressed two trends linked to the use of the technology: customer spending on infrastructure and support, and global demand for components used in data centres.

In the defence sector, Atea's first-quarter report described IT spending as "currently growing at a rapid pace". The company had previously announced that its Danish unit had won a contract with the NATO Communications and Information Agency. The contract covers management of the agency's end-user devices, according to the company's announcement. Atea estimated its value at about 130 million euros over 4 years, with the announced value covering the full contract term. The announcement also indicated scope for the contract to grow as demand increases, alongside its base estimated value.

As a backdrop to the year-on-year comparison, Atea had reported gross sales of 12.3 billion Norwegian crowns in the third quarter of 2025. Those sales rose 9.2% from the same period a year earlier, according to the company's report for that quarter. Earnings before interest and taxes totalled 348 million Norwegian crowns in the same period. These earnings rose 13.3% year on year, outpacing gross sales growth at the time. After the third-quarter report date, the company's official financial calendar includes a date for its fourth-quarter 2026 report. Atea scheduled publication of that report for February 9, 2027, at 08:00.
