Huddlestock Q1 2026: Advancing commercial progress in Europe with white-label solution attracting new customers

Huddlestock Fintech AS ("Huddlestock" or the "Company") continued to execute on its European growth strategy in Q1 2026, with increased commercial traction in its Investment-as-a-Service (IaaS) division and operational progress in Consulting (Visigon). The quarter reflects continued momentum toward scalable growth, following proactive commercialisation of the IaaS platform in Germany.

"We are strengthening our IaaS offering, building a solid partner ecosystem, and seeing increasing market interest in our solutions. We also see organic growth in retail investors in Germany, which positions us well to scale and capture new opportunities through continued commercial execution," said Leif Arnold Thomas, CEO of Huddlestock.

The Company reports total operating income of NOK 11.2 million, in line with Q4 2025. EBITDA improved quarter-over-quarter, from NOK -9.1 million to NOK -6.0 million, driven by continued cost reductions. Personnel expenses of approximately NOK 10 million in the quarter reflect a more stable cost base going forward. Cost-reduction measures began to take effect in Q1, with additional improvements expected in Q2 2026. The ambition to achieve cash flow positive operations in the European IaaS platform (Huddlestock GmbH) during 2026 remains unchanged.

The Giga Broker solution is on track for release in June. The team is currently focused on marketing preparations and expanded user testing, while also advancing the automation of KYC processes and CRM workflows, and finalizing the savings plans.

ACCELERATING EXPANSION IN GERMANY Huddlestock continued to expand in Continental Europe, with Germany as a key strategic market. The Company focuses on sales and launched successfully its white-label IaaS solution in April, a fully compliant, scalable solution, enabling customers to launch investment offerings efficiently.

During the quarter, Modern Finance Nation (MFN) was signed as a new customer, representing a significant commercial opportunity through an innovative savings and investment model. The Company also strengthened its IaaS offering through a strategic cooperation with XENIX, integrating advanced ETF data services and enhancing its German distribution footprint.

Subsequent to the quarter, Huddlestock signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a German IaaS customer for a B2B embedded finance solution, enabling access to risk management and price protection tools directly within the customer platform.

The white-label Solution launched in April has been well received in the Market, and May 27 Huddlestock announced, that its German subsidiary, had signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a prospective new German customer regarding the use of Huddlestock's White-Label IaaS solution.

Huddlestock will continue to prioritize commercial execution in Europe, scaling its IaaS platform through new customer wins, partnerships, and product development.

CONSULTING (VISIGON) Visigon delivered a solid first quarter in line with its business plan toward 2028. EBITDA margin improved year-on-year from 11% to 15%, reflecting increased operational efficiency and a shift toward more scalable delivery.

During the period, Visigon signed a new two-year agreement with a longstanding financial services client, marking continued progress from individual consulting engagements toward broader service-based offerings.

The business remains well positioned to support Huddlestock's growth ambitions, targeting NOK 100 million in revenue and a 20% EBITDA margin by 2028.
