Alefarm Brewing offentliggør årsregnskab for 2025

Bestyrelsen i Alefarm Brewing A/S har godkendt årsregnskabet for 2025, som viser en betydelig vækst i alle prioriterede salgskanaler, samt et positivt og væsentligt forbedret driftsresultat.

Selskabsmeddelelse nr. 59 Alefarm Brewing offentliggør årsregnskab for 2025

Alefarm Brewing A/S ("ALEFRM" eller "Selskabet") er et dansk bryggeri, som producerer unikke øl af høj kvalitet til forbrugere og distributører på verdensplan. Selskabet kan i dag offentliggøre sit årsregnskab for 2025.

Regnskabsåret 2025 for Alefarm Brewing A/S blev et vendepunkt, hvor der nu for første gang kan rapporteres om et pænt positivt EBITDA, og fremgang på alle de områder, som blev meldt ud som prioriterede ved årets begyndelse.

Helt afgørende for dette er, at Selskabet i november 2024 gennemførte en væsentlig organisationsændring, hvor der bl.a. blev indsat en ny CEO. Sigtet var at få vendt Selskabets negative resultater, få optimeret driften og få accelereret væksten. Resultaterne af denne ændring har i løbet af 2025 vist sig i form af betydelig vækst på alle prioriterede områder, en stærk reduktion af omkostningerne, en markant forbedret effektivitet og dermed en forbedret avanceprocent på salget.

Selskabet informerede ved starten af 2025 om forventningerne til regnskabsåret. Disse forventninger er alle blevet indfriet.

Der er sket en forbedring af indtjeningen gennem styrkelse af afsætningen til barer og restauranter (on-trade segmentet). Salget i on-trade segmentet er således i 2025 steget med hele 72,2% i forhold til 2024. Indsalget til og tilstedeværelsen i langt flere barer og restauranter end tidligere har haft afgørende indflydelse, og netop den mere faste tilstedeværelse betyder varige effekter. 

Salget til detailhandlen (off-trade segmentet) er i 2025 steget med 44,5% i forhold til 2024. Det skyldes i nogen grad et lidt bredere sortiment hos butikkerne, men i højere grad at butikkerne ser, at Selskabets produkter sælger godt. Salget af specialøl i detailhandlen voksede generelt ikke i 2025, mens salget af Selskabets produkter ud af butikken voksede med næsten 20%.  

Eksporten har været faldende konstant siden Covid-19 dagene i 2020. Denne tendens er nu afgørende vendt. Salget til eksportmarkederne er således i 2025 steget med 60,3% i forhold til 2024. Dette er sket gennem en målrettet indsats mod bestående, tidligere og potentielle distributører. Der er på den måde kommet flere nye distributører til, bl.a. i lande som Sverige og Norge, og effekten forventes derfor at fortsætte i 2026.

Selskabet lancerede den første alkoholfrie øl i januar måned, og den blev rigtigt godt modtaget og udsolgt på 14 dage. Den blev siden fulgt op med flere nye produktioner af forskellige varianter. Produkterne er løbende blevet udviklet, så Selskabet i dag står med et stærkt sortiment inden for denne kategori, og med afsætningskanaler, der løbende aftager produkterne.

Selskabet har i 2025 nedprioriteret salg til kanaler med lav indtjening, og har haft begrænset behov for at realisere restpartier, da det producerede øl har kunnet sælges gennem de normale kanaler. Efterspørgslen har endvidere betydet, at Selskabet har indkøbt ny tankkapacitet, som vil næsten fordoble kapaciteten, hvilket blev meldt ud i november 2025. Tankene forventes leveret og installeret i marts 2026.  

Der har i 2025 været fokus på at nedbringe produktionsomkostningerne gennem bedre indkøbsaftaler og en yderligere effektivisering af produktionen. Begge dele er i høj grad opnået, hvilket har betydet en reduktion af produktionsomkostningerne og dermed kostpriserne. Det har derfor betydet, at Selskabet har tjent en del bedre på det solgte øl end tidligere, men den fulde effekt er naturligvis ikke slået igennem endnu, da indsatserne er sket fordelt over 2025.

Også kapacitetsomkostningerne er i 2025 blevet reduceret og endte 16,5% lavere end 2024. Reduktionen af kapacitetsomkostninger og lønomkostninger har samlet betydet en resultatforbedring på ca. DKK 1 mio.   

Lageret, og dermed pengebindingen, er faldet med TDKK 681, hvilket er særdeles positivt. Lageret er derfor helt kurant og med en stærkt stigende omsætningshastighed. På de store debitorer og kreditorer er der generelt forhandlet nye handels- og betalingsaftaler, hvilket har givet Selskabet væsentligt bedre vilkår end tidligere. 

Selskabet har siden 2022 løbende informeret om udviklingen af en digital platform, som skulle styrke Selskabets digitale tilstedeværelse og dermed medvirke til at øge værdien af Selskabet. Den digitale platform har fra starten været udviklet alene af grundlæggeren af Alefarm Brewing A/S, Kasper Tidemann. Bestyrelsen konstaterede i juni 2025, at den digitale platform ikke kunne færdiggøres i en form, der kunne finansieres og drives af Selskabet selvstændigt fremover. Omkostningerne til lancering og drift, uden tilsvarende direkte indtjening fra platformen, ville være alt for høje til at kunne finansieres af den daglige drift af bryggeriets kerneområde, nemlig produktion og salg af øl. Selskabet har derfor i juli måned 2025 afhændet det ufærdige aktiv til Tidemann&Co ApS til en pris svarende til den bogførte værdi på DKK 1.803.758 mod betaling i Alefarm-aktier. Selskabet erhvervede på den måde egne aktier til kurs 1,62. Selskabet ejer nu 7,86% af aktierne i Selskabet. Kursen på statustidspunktet 31. december 2025 lå på 2,76, hvilket er en værditilvækst siden købet på DKK 1.265.522. Denne værditilvækst fremgår ikke af regnskabet. Afhændelsen af aktivet har ikke påvirket resultatet i 2025, men er realiseret over egenkapitalen.

De tidligere udmeldte omsætningsforventninger på mellem MDKK 10,8 og MDKK 11,5 er opnået med en realiseret omsætning på TDKK 11.528, svarende til en stigning på 16,2% i forhold til 2024. EBITDA var forventet at lande mellem DKK 0 og TDKK 350, men landede noget bedre på TDKK 620, hvilket blev meldt ud primo januar 2026. Det er en forbedring på over MDKK 1,8 i forhold til 2024.                 

Selskabets resultater for året er som følger:                                                       

Alefarm Brewing omsatte for TDKK 11.528 i 2025 mod TDKK 9.925 året før.                     

Bruttoresultatet blev på TDKK 3.986 mod TDKK 2.644 året før.                            

EBITDA udgør TDKK +620 mod TDKK –1.199 året før.                                          

Resultat af ordinær drift blev på TDKK –1.187 mod TDKK –2.905 året før.                        

Årets resultat blev på TDKK –1.521 mod TDKK –3.223 året før.                

Indtjeningen pr. aktie andrager DKK -0,107.                                                       

Ledelsen anser resultaterne som værende tilfredsstillende set i lyset af den betydelige vending af Selskabet, den positive drift og forventningerne til fremtiden.

Med afsæt i markedsvilkårene, samt den realiserede vækst og de gennemførte effektivitetsforbedringer i løbet af 2025, har Selskabet udarbejdet et sæt forventninger til 2026, som i hovedtræk består af følgende punkter:

  • En fortsat styrkelse af afsætningen i on-trade segmentet,
  • En ligeledes fortsat styrkelse af afsætningen i off-trade segmentet,
  • Et øget eksportsalg, der tager udgangspunkt i det forhøjede niveau i 2025
  • Et yderligere forstærket salg via digitale kanaler    
  • En forventet omsætning i størrelsesordenen TDKK 13.000 til TDKK 14.000             
  • EBITDA i størrelsesordenen TDKK 750 til TDKK 1.250          

Selskabet meddelte disse forventninger til markedet i Selskabsmeddelelse nr. 56 den 3. december 2025. Efter de 2 første måneder af 2026 følges planen og forventningerne.

Payments Report 2026: Measures needed to reduce vulnerability and increase inclusion in the payments market

To reduce external dependency, the banks need to develop new payment services based on national and European systems. Primarily, banks need to offer more instant payment services, otherwise legislation should be introduced. To increase inclusion in the payments market, more payment methods are needed for those without a payment account or experiencing digital exclusion. Access to cash services also needs to be improved, according to the Riksbank in its Payment Report published today.

Banks should offer more services for instant payments

National payment solutions, such as Swish, are important complements to strengthen resilience and reduce external dependency in the payments market. Swedish banks have long been able to offer more instant payment services based on Swedish and European infrastructure, but virtually no bank has chosen to do so. This means, among other things, that companies in Sweden have no way of making instant payments between one another and that a transfer via the internet bank on Friday afternoon reaches the recipient on Monday morning at the earliest. Within one year (March 2027), the Riksbank expects the market to have started offering such services, or to have communicated a plan to do so in the near future. If the market fails to do this, the Riksbank considers that legislation should be introduced in line with that which applies to payments in euros. 

Payments between countries need to be cheaper and faster

Sweden also needs to step up its work on cheap, efficient and secure payments between currencies. The Riksbank participates in the TIPS Cross Currency project to enable instant payments between Swedish kronor, euros and Danish kronor. This project requires cooperation with the market and the Riksbank continues to encourage banks and other payment service providers to join. Efficient mobile payments across countries and currencies can also be achieved by linking local solutions, such as Swish in Sweden, with similar solutions in other countries. The Riksbank considers that this solution would benefit Swedish consumers and companies and therefore encourages Getswish and its owners to work towards linking Swish.

There must be payment methods for everyone

Increasing inclusion in the payments market also requires measures. Firstly, the banks must always consider risk mitigation measures before refusing or closing a payment account. Second, the Riksbank believes that a solution is needed so that people who do not have a payment account or who experience digital exclusion can also make necessary payments, such as paying bills. The Riksbank believes that it should be possible to develop standardised alternatives that can be offered throughout the country.

Strengthen access to cash services and introduce a SEK 10,000 limit for cash purchases in shops

Cash is also an option for people who do not have a payment account or cannot use digital payment services for other reasons. In addition, cash is essential in the event of crisis or war. The Riksbank therefore recommends that households keep around SEK 1,000 in cash per adult at home to strengthen their preparedness. The Riksbank also emphasises the importance of improving access to cash services for both private individuals and companies. Moreover, the Riksbank proposes that a limit of SEK 10,000 be introduced for cash purchases in the retail trade. A monetary limit would make it more difficult to use cash for criminal purposes.

Press conference

A press conference with Governor Erik Thedéen and Elin Ritola, Head of the Division for Payment Analytics and Innovation, will be held today, Thursday 12 March at 10.00 at the Riksbank. Press cards or the equivalent are required to participate. Advance registration is required, to press officer Susanne Meyer, susanne.meyer@riksbank.se.

Gofore Plc’s Business Review for February 2026: February net sales 19.3 million euros

Gofore Oyj Other information disclosed according to stock exchange rules 12 March 2026 at 10:00 am EET 

Gofore Plc’s Business Review for February 2026: February net sales 19.3 million euros 

Gofore's net sales were 19.3 (14.8) million euros in February 2026. The 12-month pro forma net sales were 228.3 million euros. At the end of February, the Group employed a total of 1,889 (1,470) people.  

Key figures from the Esentri AG acquisition are included in the Group's figures as of the closing date, 2 January 2026.  

CEO Mikael Nylund:  

”February net sales were 19.3 (14.8) million euros. Utilisation rate was as expected, at the same level as in January. Previously mentioned integration work and the winter holidays in Finland, which mostly took place in February, affected the accumulation of customer work. The number of working days was the same as in the comparison period. 

Although overall employee numbers and capacity decreased slightly in February, it is noteworthy that the number of experts engaged in billable work in Finland has been increasing throughout the beginning of the year, while the number of non-billable staff has decreased, e.g. due to the implementation of cost synergies. 

We recently secured three significant agreements from the public sector. Gofore was chosen as the primary supplier for the City of Espoo’s ICT consulting expert services framework arrangement, together with Nostrum IT Oy. The agreement duration is seven years, and the estimated total value of the procurement over the agreement period is about 44 million euros. The City of Espoo has now re-tendered an agreement it has had with Gofore Lead since the beginning of 2021. This was one of the two agreements to be re-tendered within 12 months we disclosed in our financial statement release, the retendering of the other one is yet to be had. 

The DACH team, meanwhile, won an important framework agreement procurement with the IT center of the German federal government, ITZBund. The end customer for the framework agreement is the federal central administration’s tax authority. The agreement period is four years, and based on the number of tendered workdays, its value could, in our estimation, reach several million, up to five million euros per year. This is a significant achievement for Gofore DACH and its first direct federal-level client. 

Additionally, Gofore has been selected to continue its current agreement as the main IT expert for the IT agency of the State of Liechtenstein (Amt für Informatik) for the next five years. The value of the framework agreement related to application development is about eight million euros. The Esentri team has worked with the client for a long time, and this extension is an important sign of trust in a well-functioning partnership. 

So far, the war in Iran has not directly affected our business. However, it does increase uncertainties related to economic development and especially demand in the export industry.”
