Comments from President and CEO Sonny Mirborn:
”Continued growth with maintained profitability
XPartners Group continues to grow with maintained profitability. Net sales increased by 61% to MSEK 1,256 (779) and adjusted EBITA rose by 64% to MSEK 212 (130), corresponding to a margin of 16.9% (16.7). During the quarter, we carried out a tap issue of MSEK 400 and the bond was admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Financial performance
The quarter was marked by a high pace of acquisitions and demand that varied significantly across our geographic markets. Organic growth was flat at 0.0%, as Sweden, our largest segment, and Finland continued to grow with good profitability, while Norway and Denmark experienced softer demand in parts of their markets.
Market
Overall demand remained stable but varied across segments and geographies. In Sweden, demand was strong in infrastructure and civil engineering, energy and defense, with a slight increase in activity in building construction, particularly in commercial projects. The Norwegian market remained somewhat subdued during the quarter, partly reflecting some softness in public investments and postponed projects. In Denmark, demand was bolstered by infrastructure and urban development, while the life science sector stayed subdued; other sectors remained relatively steady. As the Group grows and matures in its local markets, exposure to segment-level demand is becoming more balanced. Finland remained stable, driven by public investments, renovation, data centers, defense and energy efficiency. In the Netherlands, activity remained strong, fueled by energy infrastructure, housing and urban development.
New market and strong acquisition pace
After the end of the quarter, we took a major step in the Group’s development with the acquisition of Corall Ingenieure, marking our entry into the German market. Germany thus becomes our sixth market and the second new one this year. We see strong opportunities to deepen our presence in Germany using our model, which empowers companies to retain their own leadership and operate under their established names. Interest from companies that want to become part of XPartners remains high, and during the quarter nine companies joined, spread across all five markets in which we operated at the time. This brings the total to 22 companies added so far this year.
Outlook
As a Group, we engage with the society in which we live – roads and railways, schools and housing, water and energy. These needs span all our countries and evolve over time across segments and disciplines. Our strength lies in deep expertise combined with broad geographic and disciplinary coverage. Our model is built on empowering our companies with the freedom to lead and the tools to grow. With the companies that have joined this year, an expanded geographic footprint and strengthened financing, the Group is well positioned to continue its development.”

XPartners expands to Germany as Corall Ingenieure joins the group
XPartners enters the German market and welcomes Corall Ingenieure as the group’s first company in the country. The engineering and expert consultancy specialises in preventive fire protection and accessibility planning. Germany becomes the group’s second market outside the Nordics, following the entry into the Netherlands earlier this year.
Founded in 2005, Corall Ingenieure is one of the leading independent preventive fire protection firms in Germany. From its head office in Meerbusch near Düsseldorf and offices in Hamburg and Dortmund, the company supports clients throughout complete projects through all steps mandatory under German building law. This includes fire protection concepts, permitting, simulations, site supervision and expert opinions. Assignments span all of Germany, across all asset classes. Recent larger projects include the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, TheQ in Nuremberg, the WDR Filmhaus and the Musical Theater in Cologne, the Arne Jacobsen House in Hamburg, and the New Heart high-rise project in Düsseldorf. The company has more than 50 employees and generated revenues of approximately EUR 7 million in 2025.
“Corall is an impressive company. Over two decades and more than 20,000 projects, the team has built a leading position in German fire protection engineering, with a reputation for technical quality and a pragmatic way of working. Their pivotal role in the construction process makes them a perfect fit for our collaboration platform. I am very pleased that our German journey begins with a company of this calibre,” says Sonny Mirborn, CEO of XPartners Group.
XPartners has been backed by the investment firm Axcel since 2023 and has maintained a high acquisition pace, with more than 50 companies joining the group over the past two years. Today the group comprises almost 90 entrepreneur-led companies with annual net sales of approximately SEK 5 billion (EUR 450 million). When joining, companies gain access to a broad network of specialists, with collaboration on client assignments, joint tenders and knowledge-sharing across disciplines. They continue to operate independently, under their own name and their own management, while their former owners hold ownership in the group as a whole. Employees are also given the opportunity to invest, and with more than 1,000 co-owners, the majority of XPartners is owned by the people who work across the group.
“This is very good news for our company, for our employees and for our clients. We gain the resources and the network to keep developing the business, and our team gains new opportunities to grow through exchange with specialists across the group. At the same time, everything our clients know us for remains: our name, our people and the direct, personal way we work,” say Tim Söhnchen and Frank Hatscher, Managing Directors of Corall Ingenieure.
“Germany is one of Europe’s largest construction markets, and it suits our model well. We are not entering the market for one company alone. Our ambition is to welcome additional German specialist firms to the group during the coming year, and with each company that joins, the opportunities for collaboration grow for both the companies and their clients,” says Sonny Mirborn, CEO of XPartners.
“Germany has an enormous need for planning and engineering capacity in the years ahead, from infrastructure renewal to the energy transition. Nordic and German engineering cultures fit well together, with the same foundations of technical depth, quality and long-term thinking. XPartners’ entry is good news for the German market, and Corall is a strong start,” says Olaf Demuth, Board Member of XPartners Group.

The company’s clients span the entire construction sector.

A central part of the offering is the company’s cost information model, which links cost estimation with BIM and keeps cost data up to date throughout the project.
“We have built Costa into a strong specialist in precise tender pricing and quantity surveying, proactive cost management and cost information modelling. As part of XPartners, we see great potential in collaborating with the other companies in the group and reaching new types of assignments, while continuing to develop our own way of working and our offering,” says Ville Jehkonen, CEO of Costa Laskenta.

Comments from President and CEO Sonny Mirborn:
“European expansion and consistent execution
XPartners Group begins the year with continued growth and solid profitability. Net sales increased by 79% to MSEK 1,055 and adjusted EBITA increased by 57% to MSEK 168, corresponding to a margin of 15.9%. On a pro forma basis, adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months amounts to MSEK 906 and the number of employees exceeds 2,100. During the quarter, we also established a presence in the Netherlands, our first market outside the Nordics.
Financial performance
Organic growth for the quarter was -1.3%, or 0.5% when adjusted for calendar effects. Performance was influenced by a strong comparison quarter in both Norway and Denmark, with the latter also weighed down by a continued slowdown in the life science market. Sweden and Finland delivered solid results with positive organic growth of 4.5% and 3.9% respectively, confirming healthy underlying demand.
In January, we carried out a tap issue of MSEK 1,000 under our existing senior secured bond, bringing the total outstanding volume to MSEK 4,000. This provides continued financial flexibility for our growth journey.
Market
Overall, the market remained stable during the quarter, although demand continued to vary across segments and geographies. Sweden maintained positive momentum, and Finland continued its gradual recovery from low levels. The Norwegian market performed relatively well despite some slowdown in public projects, while Denmark was characterized by persistent weakness in life science. Overall, underlying demand remained steady, with sustained high activity in infrastructure and community development, as well as solid progress in energy, defense, data centers and energy efficiency – areas supported by long‑term investment needs.
Exposure to demand fluctuations in individual segments is gradually being balanced as the Group expands and network effects strengthen.
Strong acquisition pace and new market
Since the start of the year, 19 companies have joined the Group, and at the end of March we acquired RYSE, our first company in the Netherlands. RYSE is a multidisciplinary advisory firm in real estate and urban development and forms the foundation of our local presence. After the end of the quarter, Flux Partners also joined, further strengthening the platform. Our pipeline of well‑managed companies remains strong across all markets.
Increased collaboration
We are increasingly realizing synergies through collaboration on client assignments, joint tenders and capacity sharing. During the quarter, for instance, we won another major framework agreement – this time with the Finnish energy company Fortum – where more than 60 of our companies contributed to the bid. It demonstrates what we can achieve when we bring together specialized expertise across company and country borders.
Outlook
With an expanding platform, consistent execution and a business model that continues to prove its resilience, XPartners stands strong. Our expansion into Europe marks a new chapter in our growth journey, where we continue to give leading specialist firms the freedom to lead and the tools to grow – together with their employees, clients and one another.”
