Autostore Holdings (Oslo:AUTO) Q1 2026 Earnings Call

0:00 Good morning and welcome to Autostore's Q1 twenty twenty six update. My name is Elizabeth Roche and I'm the Investor Relations Officer at Autostore. I will be moderating today's meeting. I'm joined here today by our CEO, Matzov Lavieczem and our CFO, Paul Harrison. We're standing ready to walk you through this quarter and answer your questions. As usual, we would like to remind you of our disclaimer with regards to forward looking statements. It can be read here at your own convenience. Now moving on to our agenda. Must will begin with an overview of our operational performance and our strategic progress. Paul will then present the financial results in detail.

0:47 We'll follow with a live Q and A session and you can submit your questions via the webcast player or ask your questions directly via Teams. The link and information are available on our website. After this Q and A session, Mats will round off with some final remarks. And as a reminder, all financial figures are stated in US dollars. With that, let's get started. Over to you, Mats. Thanks, Eva. Good morning, and thank you all for joining our Q1 update. Over the past few months, I've spent quite a bit of time with customers across Europe and North America.

1:32 And what I hear is broadly consistent and constructive. First of all, it is clear that we live in a world which is incredibly hard to predict, and all businesses need to assume that this will just continue. Against such a world, I'm hearing that it's more important than ever to build an end to end supply chain that has the resiliency and flexibility to thrive in a world of uncertainty. Supply chain is a strategically important area for all companies moving goods and it's just getting more important with this backdrop, which is also reflected in those conversations. What we bring to market, which is market leading robotics and software, and how we are doing that with our refresh strategy, I. E, moving closer to customers with a high pace of innovation, resonates well with how these businesses are thinking.

2:19 That's also showing true in our results and what we're bringing to market. If we look into our numbers, we are reporting a good start to the year today. Revenue came in at a solid 166,000,000 with an order intake of $179,000,000 Profitability remained strong with a 73% gross margin and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 44%. Cash flow conversion was 82% which really underlines the strength in cash generating nature of our business model. Moving on to the business overview, in March we had our spring product announcement. This one was primarily focused on the launch of our new software platform as well as new and exciting AI capabilities. I'll come more back to this in detail later.

3:07 First, taking a step back, Autostore holds a clear position as the global leader in the market that is still in its early years. Our skill is unmatched and as of Q1, we have almost 90,000 robots across nearly 2,000 installations. Central to our success is our land and expand strategy and in Q1, we saw 55 of revenue coming from existing customers who are either expanding their existing sites or establishing new ones. In the quarter, we also added 25 new customers bringing the total to more than 1,300. As we've talked about before, our commercial strategy is focused on building deeper relationships with strategic customers and these numbers here reflect the importance of that.

3:55 If you then look to the right side of this page, you'll see that our financial profile is highly scalable with industry leading profitability and cash generation. This slide here shows our broad customer portfolio across a diverse set of end markets. In the quarter, momentum remained strong and we saw continued positive development across several segments including retail, 3PL and industrial and we saw an increased demand for high throughput solutions. Now, a year ago, we presented our product strategy, which is structured around four clearly defined pillars. Since then, we've delivered three separate product announcements, each directly advancing these initiatives across these pillars. Most recently, we announced our core software platform and AI capabilities, which is just further strengthening our product offering and the value proposition to our customers.

4:50 I'm very pleased with the progress that we've made and the consistent execution against the strategy that we communicated a year ago. These milestones here demonstrate our ability to rapidly translate strategic priorities and customer feedback into tangible product outcomes and value for our customers. And the product that we have released and the direction that we're on has been very well received by our customers and the community overall. Not only are we seeing good initial traction, but it's also clear that we have increased our addressable market by now being able to help our customers address new types of use cases. So with that, let's now dive into our spring announcement where AI, cloud, and data were in focus. In this release, we announced Qubers, Autostore Intelligence, and Versa AI.

5:38 Qubers is our new unified cloud and data platform that connects all of our applications, our AI capabilities and integrations into a single ecosystem. Embedded in this, Autostore Intelligence acts as an AI layer that uses proprietary models to optimize operations, predict issues and deliver measurable performance improvements for our customers. This area is a significant step forward. We now have the platform and AI layer to turn decades of data into intelligence that just compounds with every new robot that we deploy. This is delivering real time insights, actions and continuous improvements for every customer at every site. And let me remind you that we have almost 90,000 robots deployed at almost 2,000 installations across the world, which is just giving us billions of data points from live operations.

6:28 No other player in our segment has this insight. So if you take a step back, our world class hardware amplified by software platform and AI creates this compounding competitive advantage, one that just deepens with every deployment and widens with every customer. This is what we call intelligent fulfillment. So now, before I hand over to Paul, let me show you a short video that talks to this. When will warehousing be truly lights out? That question drives innovation at Autostore. The answer takes automation that improves in real time, learning, adjusting, and optimizing continuously using live operational data. So we're redesigning how our software works at every level, building our stack from the ground up.

7:20 Introducing Qfirst, a unified cloud environment for Autostore applications. It gives customers secure, future ready software that's easy to upgrade and expand. For partners, it provides one connection point across Autostore technology, simplifying third party integration and reducing complexity. At the core of this is Autostore intelligence, our purpose built AI models, giving the system the ability to learn from and utilize data across our hardware and software products. These models absorb billions of data points from live operations, learn the patterns that drive performance and refine decisions to maximize flow. Autostore intelligence is trained on something real, millions of hours of warehouse operations, countless simulations, actual performance data from systems around the globe, learning from real data to provide real outcomes.

8:14 The result is a new standard for automation. Welcome to the next era of Autostore, intelligent fulfillment, an evolution of our platform that enhances every step of the automation journey and powers generation of applications. Together, these innovations form a connected portfolio, spanning software and hardware to create intelligent fulfillment and move us closer to a future of true lifestyle warehouse. Thank you, Matt, and good morning. It's really exciting to see our product road map unfolding. Data inside of what truly sets Autostore apart, and now with insight driven by these AI capabilities, our value proposition becomes better and our competitive advantage is stronger than ever before.

9:06 Now let's move to the financial highlights on the next slide. Q one reflects a strong start to the year and continued momentum since q two twenty twenty five. Of course, we're mindful of the turbulent world we live in, but as Matt has noted, it does see customers strengthening their supply chains, and that is where we play an important role. Also, our sharpened operational focus drives revenue and order intake in key segments as well as stable high margins. I would add that as you look at these numbers, the impact of movements in FX on both sequential and year over year growth across key metrics is not material. And before we move to the next page, let me remind you about the natural quarterly variations we see in our business.

9:54 However, if you step back and look at the trend line, you'll see that we're clearly on a good growth trajectory. Looking at order intake, we reached a 179,000,000 in the first quarter, which is a solid number following a very strong quarter four. And what is positive in our new commercial model is that we're securing longer term commitments. What that means is that the order intake we see now includes projects scheduled for 2027 shipments. I'm happy to see that retail, three p l, and industrial all contribute positively. And with that, our order backlog closed at 571,000,000, another record high. Moving on to revenue. Revenue was 166,000,000 in quarter one, showing very significant year over year growth.

10:50 Looking at the geos, Europe once again remained solid whilst North America delivered strong growth, 25% in this quarter. It was also pleasing to see a positive performance from Asia Pacific. The standard segment delivered steady growth and we also had a meaningful share of high throughput projects landed in q one from both Europe and North America. Okay. Let's move to margins. Gross margin came in at 73%, which reflects strong operational discipline. At the same time, we're not immune to the price increases we're seeing across various input costs. And these will weigh somewhat on gross margins over the course of the year.

11:36 But with the resilience we've built into our supply chain, I did not envisage this having a significant impact on that high gross margin. Similarly, our EBITDA margin was stable and strong quarter on quarter at 44%, a reflection of our efficient business model and investments in long term growth initiatives. Finally, let's have a look at our balance sheet and financial position. In quarter one, we continue to generate strong operating cash flow with conversion rate of 82%. Working capital increased mainly due to a rising receivables reflecting higher volumes as a normal seasonality. Investment activity remained stable with the majority related to new product development.

12:24 And as a result, net debt decreased to a 136,000,000 at the end of q one compared to a 180,000,000 at the end of q four twenty five. That corresponds to a net debt ratio of naught point five times reflecting a very strong balance sheet. So with that, I'll pass back to Hiva who's going to lead the Q and A. Thank you, Paul. And as always, as usual, let's start with the questions from teams. If you could raise your hands if you have a question. And let's see who has raised their hands. I believe Luke, you are first in line. If you could please go ahead and unmute yourself.

13:15 Good morning, everyone. I've just got a couple of questions. The first is on the aluminium prices, which I know have risen significantly over the last twelve months. Can you just give us an idea when you say that there might be some impacts on gross margin, but some mitigation from your supply chain? Can you give us some quantification around the impact given some of the historic impacts that we've seen have been relatively significant? And then as a derivative of that, are you considering raising prices to your customers to help mitigate against those rises? And then the second thing is can you give a bit more color on the conflict in The Middle East and how that's impacting either demand or supply chain management through March and April? Thank you. Thanks, Luke. I'll start with a couple of comments there. Yes. We we we are seeing significant increase in aluminum costs and as I say, that will have a bearing on on gross profit for the balance of the year. But, you know, we have spent a lot of time really since the Russian Ukraine situation diversifying our supplier base, which gives us the opportunity to take advantage of competitive dynamics that exist across our procurement activities.

14:27 So, you know, when I when I if you want to frame this as I look based on what we know today at the balance of the year, we still expect our gross margin to start with a seven. That hopefully gives you some quantification. Matt, maybe comment on prices, just some quick comment on The Middle East. You know, we do a relatively small amount of business in The Middle East, but I will say that that business, you know, continues to be to be delivered. So modest impact on our overall P and L but no significant disruption to orders that we have in that region. Maybe first to add on your first question, Zig. We have learned a lot since we were in a similar situation a couple of years ago. And based on those learnings, we've taken some very clear actions on the operation side of the business, diversifying our supplier base, how we work with them, what type of agreements we have in place, etcetera, etcetera. So, based on what we're seeing now, we don't see a need to pass this on to customers because we're able to at least with the current visibility have pretty limited impact as Paul was saying.

15:33 But as we've done before, we have tools in our toolbox should this reach a level where we see the need to do so. But that's just something that we'll observe and follow as we move forward. If you think about the situation more holistically and what's happening in Middle East and the disruptions that that's causing globally, I think when we speak to customers, I think they're operating with this mindset that there is uncertainty. There will be unexpected things happening globally. And more important than ever, we need to build that robust supply chain and robust operation that can handle these different shocks. So, I think we're in a period of time where customers are living through those types of situations and trying to build resiliency to handle it even better in the future. But of course, it impacts freights, it impacts the consumer, etcetera, etcetera.

16:30 That's great. Thank you. And just to be clear, there's no significant surcharges expected on the pricing side from what you're saying? Not with the visibility we have today. Thank you. Thank you, Luke. I believe, Erik, you're next one up. If you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Yes. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Erik from DB Carnegie here. Three from me. I guess, one is for Paul and just kind of housekeeping on the FX impact, particularly on orders because you don't, I think, explicitly disclose that in the report. We calculate ballpark 8% to 12% organic growth adjusted for FX tailwind. Is that kind of ballpark in the right range on orders?

17:18 Order intake actually on a constant currency basis is slightly above reported, Eric. But across the key metrics, revenues actually disclosed as you see in the quarter one report, it really isn't significant to these overall growth numbers we're talking about. Okay. That's clear. Thanks. My second question is on capital allocation and kind of in light of the numbers presented today. Any updated thoughts here on the buyback potential here at 0.5 net interest bearing debt to EBITDA given what sounds to be decent rest of the year, how should we think about the potential for a bit more active capital allocation? Look, it is as you say, it's a strong balance sheet and we talked before about our priorities, organic potential for M and A to complement our strategy.

18:13 Yes, we take and consider at a board level returns of cash to shareholders and continue to do that. So, something the board debates. Okay. That's fair. And then lastly, can we get an updated number on the share of recurring revenue and also kind of how we should think about this number in light of some of the new product launches you've made over the last six months or so? So roundabout early to mid teens proportion of our revenue bases recurring or reoccurring in nature that includes spare parts and roundabout half of that relates to kind of software and Autostore as a service area.

18:59 Okay. Perfect. We have released and what we are releasing. You're right. Kind of more and more value sits in the software and the AI that we're applying across that portfolio. As you remember, we also released the essentials package early in the year where we're providing kind of a nice commercialization wrapper for all those innovations. So, it's clearly a focus for us to A, bring value to customers through that part of our product portfolio and B, to then monetize that using that essential scrapper, which is over time building a better recurring revenue into the business. That's great color. And if I can follow-up on just briefly on that, I guess that's kind of opt in for the end customers if they want that essential package or not.

19:48 Can you give any indication of kind of the uptake or the penetration of the central package or other opt in software solutions kind of beyond the router software? So, the essential package follows as a standard into the new sites that we sell. And as you know, you need to operate with our core software and our portfolio to have it operating. If you look at those additional software applications that we can offer on top of that, which is kind of cube analytics and some of those products there. We are seeing a very strong uptake both on the new sites that we're selling but also existing customers are adding those applications into their portfolio. So, I'm very happy with the development we've had there in the last twelve to eighteen months.

20:37 Perfect. Thanks for the color. I'll jump back in the queue. Thank you, Eric. I believe Tintin, you're next one. If you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking a couple of my questions. First one, are you able to share more about the success in North America? So color on is that existing new customers, any changes in win rates, any notable changes in the competitive landscape there? And then secondly, on just an update on Autostore as a service, 3PL clearly still remaining strong. What's happening with the proposition there? Clearly, Q1 last year, it felt like a lot of people were interested in it. Is it to do with the macro environment?

21:25 Just give us a color where you're at with that. Maybe I'll start and you can chime in, Paul. But very happy to see the performance that we've had in North America because you'll remember earlier in 2025, we talked about reallocating resource into the region because we are seeing such a strong growth opportunity there. If you look into the numbers, it is a mixed asset globally. We're seeing the existing clients we have coming in and buying new sites as well as extending existing sites. And there, we are seeing a different momentum in those discussions because of the new commercial model that we have applied where we are deepening those relationships and having different types of discussion now than what we've had in the past. On the new logo acquisition, we're also progressing quite well, also on the both on the order intake and revenue side, but also if you look into some of the leading indicators across the pipeline, we're having a fairly good traction in terms of new logo acquisition. Acquisition.

22:26 The competitive environment in the region is roughly the same as we see globally which is largely unchanged versus how we've talked about it in the past and we're seeing that our win rates remains very, very strong. Yes. Then the Autostore as a service, Tintin, one deal concluded in quarter one round about $5,000,000 in Europe. So that tells you that this remains very much a feature of our business appealing as you implied that to certain sort of certain key verticals and important tool therefore in our locker. So, you know, we continue to offer it. We continue to have a number of interesting conversations with potential customers about it. Great.

23:14 Thanks very much guys. Thank you, Tien Tsin. Eileen Makena, you're next. Thank you and congratulations for the good results. I think a lot of my questions got answered, but I have some as well. And I can take them one by one. You have you further increased the order backlog conversion rate. How do you see this trend developing to 2026? Was there any like in the sales space, was there any like larger orders affecting affecting that? I think it's it's returned it's returned to broadly the the historic average when you look at recent quarters.

24:02 I wouldn't point to a sort of anticipating a sharp increase in it as as we look for the rest of the year. And just as as as I mentioned in my comments, just keep in mind that we could start now to take in deals for 2027 into the backlog as well as you think about that conversion. You know, good to see it back up to that historic average. I think more broadly, we're seeing now customers making commitments, following through on those commitments and having kind of a normal sense of urgency against that. So, no special things impacting conversion as such. There will always be a lumpiness in those numbers because of the business model we have and that's a fundamental feature of our model and that should also be expected as we move forward. But overall, I think there is kind of a natural good conversion rate, which is something that we focus on coming back to when you now look at the numbers.

25:05 That's good. On the gross margins, you answered the aluminum part, but was there anything other particular affecting like in the project mix that we should be aware of? Yes. Look, my comment was not intended actually to be confined to aluminum and we're mindful of the potential for a broad increase in input prices and energy costs. And take my comment please in the year when I was presenting the slide as covering a broader sort of take on input cost than just aluminum. Got it. And little bit follow-up on Tintin's questions regarding the split on the order intake. Would you say that this the region split on sales reflect on the order intake split?

25:54 Was there any like significant larger order this quarter that we should be aware of in the order intake? Think we talked, if you go back to quarter four, about a number of sort of long standing high throughput debates coming to conclusion in terms of order intake. We didn't see that same feature in in in quarter one. So, no, I wouldn't point to anything sort of abnormal in the quarter one order intake. Great. Thank you. That was all my questions. Thank you, Martina. Martin, I think your next one, if you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Thank you, Ian. Good morning. It's Martin from Citi. So the question is coming back to North America. So obviously, there are a lot of movement on tariffs.

26:45 And you just want to try to work out whether the new tariff situation is better for you than perhaps people might have feared a year or so ago. And obviously, there are all these new Section two thirty two tariffs, which presumably impacts the aluminum grid that you sell into North America, but just trying to understand what the impact is there. But overall, are your customers now feeling that tariff certainty is now resolved and that sort of releasing pent up demand that might have been sort of on hold from last year? Thank you. We don't see the tariffs itself limiting conversion as such. So, I think that in itself gives an answer to part of your question. If you look at the recent changes, we're seeing that yes, so mix shifts in between, but not meaningfully changing the position and that position is one where I think customers has now gotten used to a world where you operate with a tariff level and across the value chain, you solve for that and drive towards conversion. So, I don't see that meaningfully impact our ability to do business in North America and the customer seems to have adjusted.

27:52 Thank you. And if I could just have a follow-up in unrelated way. One of the features that seems to be seen in industry at the moment is this desire for flexibility and scalability just because of end market uncertainty. And obviously, you've got a very flexible solution. I don't know the way you'd measure this, if it's sort of your number of robots per order or just simply size of individual orders. But are you seeing more customers wanting to sort of start small with their option as part of your land and expand to sort of upgrade relatively quickly? Is that not really a feature that we should be sort of thinking about? Look, even historically, that has been a feature of how our customers are implementing Autostore because there is no need to try to look into the crystal ball and guess what your volumes is going to be five years down the line and scale your system based upon that, you do actually build for the demand that you're seeing today and kind of what you have in front of you and then you scale over time. I think looking at the numbers, it will be even clearer once you start seeing extensions come in future years. But it's clearly a big topic as we discuss with those customers because we're trying to solve for a situation where you should expect your business to look different one, two, three years down the line. And that's also how we're designing those systems and designing those conversations that we're having.

29:14 Great, thank you very much. Thank you, Martin. Tim, I thank you. The next one up, if you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Hi. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. Alright. Cool. Yeah. Thanks so much for taking the question. So the first one is about your AI capability. You just introduced. And I I just want to get a, like, a brief idea how much more value proposition that AI can help in terms of, like, your order size. I mean, if I look at the historical number of the order value, it's probably like two, three billion on average. And how much AI can help in terms of, you know, boosting this number in terms of the value that we can get from the platform?

30:11 And also, if you develop the AI capabilities, are you if you look all these things in house, or do you consider partnering some of the, you know, third party solutions which can further enhance your capability on that? Good, look, I think an important feature with Autostore intelligence is that we're applying those proprietary models across the portfolio, so we're creating customer value in different ways. Two of the areas that we highlighted in the Spring product release was one, in the cube control software, which is kind of the routing software and the logic that drives efficiency.

30:56 And by creating those customized configurations through AI based on those real individual site situations, we have seen quite meaningful performance increase on sites that has high throughput, high robot density where that optimization challenge is the hardest. And as that creates customer value, of course, over time that will also show through in our ability to monetize that. The second example that we go through was through cube analytics where we're now able to move from just providing data to actually providing insights and predictability and telling the customer what to do with what the data is telling you. So, again, as we provide more customer value, that will over time improve our ability to monetize and improve those metrics that you just mentioned, Tim. And when you look at partnerships, we are building proprietary models in house and it's important for us to have those capabilities.

31:57 But of course, there's a lot of exciting things happening out there. So, we are building the right sets of partnerships as well. For instance, across Autostore Intelligence, we have partnered with Databricks to make sure that we're able to bring the best of breed out there. And on Versa AI, we've also built partnerships to make sure that we're applying the right set of AI and the right vision systems to those products so that we bring the best possible solutions out there to the customers. Got it. Very helpful. Thank you. And my next question is about your go to market model. I think you have been increasing your resources or inputs, you know, into Salesforce or, like, you know, to get closer to the end users. And I think that's probably one of the reasons why you have like an improvement in terms of the conversion in terms of revenue from the order backlog.

32:53 How do we think about the further inputs this year or going forward? Are we going to increase more resources in terms of sales, in terms of, let's say, the capability to try to enhance, you know, further cooperation. That means if there's any implication in terms of margin on that front. So look, we have made some targeted good investments both in our commercial part of the organization and in our product part of the organization against that strategy that we've talked about. As you say, those investments have yielded good returns for us. And as we see those investments also producing a good business case going forward, we will continue to make those investments because it's giving us the results that we're able to present here.

33:50 Thank you, Tim. Next one up is, think. If you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Yes, sure. Thank you. Two questions from me. You have discussed the geopolitical uncertainty and I obviously understand that creates some uncertainty. But have you observed any, call it, tangible shift in consumer behavior in recent weeks? Are they becoming slightly more cautious? Or is it more or less business as usual? That's my first one. Thanks. So, terms of our customer base, we haven't seen any meaningful shift over the past few weeks in the discussions that we've been.

34:36 Downstream, how the consumer acts for those different types of businesses, I think there's better people than ourselves to answer, but from our perspective, those discussions has not changed. Okay, perfect. Thanks. And then on OpEx, we have seen some volatility over the last quarters, and it's definitely good to see that costs are moving down now Q o Q. So on a broader picture, if you look in Q1, I think the clean cost base are up around 8% year over year. Is that a good estimate for the full year or is Q1 not, call it, fully representative? Thanks. I think if we go back to Q4, I talked about some of the features of the OpEx we reported in q four with with sort of year a very strong year end reflecting in sort of various aspects of of of our cost base including compensation.

35:38 And I said then that we would see it come down in Q1 as it has done. As we look forward for the rest of this year, clearly at the usual cycle in our year, which is in Q2, we'll do the usual salary rounds etcetera. So that will have anticipate some impact on OpEx. And then just back to Matt's point, we're not going to hesitate to bring more resource into the business if we see clear growth opportunities. So I'm not going to encourage you to simply take quarter one and extrapolate from that for those reasons. Okay. Two things we're balancing as a business is one, this is a market that is still just in the early years and we're very early on the overall adoption curve. And if we can make investments that enable us to A, maintain the leader in which going to drive that adoption and B, help accelerate adoption, we will do that because of the early stage that this market is in. But of course, on top of that and what we're balancing it against is this disciplined approach of making sure that we do the right investments because it is a scarce resource and we need to make sure that we're making investments that is yielding results and keeping that cost discipline that has created a strong financial profile that we present here today.

37:00 Thank you. Very clear. Thank you. Thank you, Petha. Toby, I believe your next one up. If you could please go ahead and unmute yourself. Yes. Hi, good morning. Maybe just on the margin side, thanks for the steer on the gross margin dynamics. You're still sort of expecting that to start with a 7%. But if the input costs continue to weigh on the gross margin through the years you mentioned, how should we think about the flow through to EBITDA da margin? And then what do you see as any sort of key offsetting factors across the OpEx that could allow the EBITDA margin to remain more stable or even improve even if the gross margin trends down a little bit through the year? Thank you.

37:49 Look, I think we if step back from this, we have always seen some variability in our gross margin linked to things like product mix. So I don't think we're in a particularly as we look at it right now, a particularly abnormal situation to my earlier comments. And, you know, to Matt's comments, we will obviously take gross margin trends into account as in in the running of the business, but at the same time, they will not within the within the parameters I've set out, they will not see us refrain from putting in the right investment into the business either. So I think just to step back here, I think given the parameters we're talking about at the moment, we're in a kind of normal, a reasonably normal sort of business situation.

38:48 Okay. I think that was it for Toby. Tintin, I see that your hand's raised. Did you have another question? And if so, please go ahead and unmute yourself. No. No. Sorry. Failure to unraise. That's alright. That's alright. Martin, just checking with you as well. Your hand is raised. Did you have another question? If so, please go ahead and unmute yourself. Sorry. That's also my mistake. I should not have my hand still raised. No worries. If if no other hands let me just double check. No other hands are raised. As far as I can see, I will check the chat as well. There are no questions. So I believe this concludes today's Q and A session.

39:40 Now, I'll hand over the word to you, Mats, for some closing remarks. Thanks, Eva. Thanks, Paul. So let me just summarize what we've presented to you today and remind you also of some key points. First, we operate in a large underpenetrated market that is supported by long term structural trends. We have remained focused on executing on our strategy with sharpened commercial focus, improved backlog conversion and we've maintained solid profitability. And while the environment in early twenty twenty six remains broadly in line with last year, we're in a much stronger position than what we were a year ago. We have a solid foundation supported by a scalable solution that goes across industries and geographies. And with a more customer centric go to market model, we're working closer with customers and just strengthening our land and expand strategy.

And as you've heard me say many times before, we're not standing still. During the past eighteen months, we launched 18 new products and capabilities that's just seen us extending the cube into adjacent workflows, solving real customer challenges and expanding our addressable market and AI capabilities.

Taken together, these characteristics give us the confidence in our direction and ability to create long term value.
