Comment from Laurinda Pang, CEO of Sinch

"I am pleased to report on a solid start to 2026, building on last year's momentum with organic gross profit growth and strong profitability. In the quarter, we delivered 3 percent organic revenue growth, 5 percent organic gross profit growth and 10 percent organic adjusted EBITDA growth. This performance reflects our disciplined execution, and combined with a solid balance sheet, which has enabled us to repurchase 15 percent of outstanding shares since July 2025, this provides a meaningful contribution to the increase in adjusted EBITDA per share."

"I am particularly pleased with our development in the Americas, which delivered 7 percent organic revenue growth and 10 percent organic gross profit growth, driven by broad-based strength across all product categories and channels. In particular, Voice contributed strongly to margin improvements by gradually shifting network transmission to IP technology. The strength and competitiveness of our innovative voice offering is further evidenced by several large contract wins during the quarter, including with clients in tech and financial services. These contracts will meaningfully contribute to continued organic growth during the year."
