ALSO Q1 2026: Net Profit +69%

• EBITDA: 89 million euros (+46%)
• ROCE: 11.2% (+0.8 percentage points)

This result was achieved on the back of revenue growth to 4.3 billion euros (+31%). All business models—Supply, Solutions, and Services, particularly Digital Platforms—contributed, along with completed acquisitions, a deliberate focus on higher-value offerings (product category mix, business model mix), and best practices in operational excellence (inventory management).

The Digital Platforms business continues to grow well above the group average, up more than 30%. Cloud revenue increased by 33% to 674 million euros. In parallel, the deployment of Artificial Intelligence within the company is being consistently advanced. Applications successfully validated internally are subsequently transferred into the AI portfolio and made available to resellers.

For the current financial year, ALSO confirms its EBITDA guidance of 300 to 340 million euros and a ROCE above 20%.

Wolfgang Krainz, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN): "The strong first quarter, in line with expectations, and business development in April so far confirm the effectiveness of the MORE/WIN strategy and the strength of our ecosystem. We see further significant growth potential for the coming years."
