In its latest financial report for the period of January to September 2024, Sinch AB reported a slight decline in net sales by 1 percent to SEK 20,983 million compared to the previous year. The company faced a significant financial setback due to a goodwill impairment charge, resulting in a substantial loss after tax amounting to SEK -6,089 million.

Key financial metrics for the third quarter showed a 2 percent decrease in net sales to SEK 7,150 million and a 6 percent drop in EBITDA to SEK 799 million. The company’s adjusted EBITDA remained stable with a minor decrease of 2 percent. The financials were impacted by a SEK 6,000 million goodwill impairment related to the Applications product category, particularly affecting MessageMedia, and foreign exchange headwinds.

Despite these challenges, Sinch has made considerable progress with its Efficiency Agenda, achieving gross savings totaling SEK 335 million by the end of the third quarter, surpassing its initial targets. The company remains focused on its Growth Acceleration Plan, which includes initiatives like product integration and operational excellence, aiming for long-term growth and improved financial performance.
