Action:Reiterated
Date:05/17/26
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance—persistent losses and negative free cash flow despite improving revenue and strong gross margin. Technicals also remain soft with the stock trading below key moving averages and negative MACD. The main offset is a more constructive earnings outlook tied to the planned merger synergies and product momentum, though execution and liquidity risk remain meaningful.
Positive Factors
AllKey product momentum
AllKey's outsized share of new pipeline and a high share of new-client wins, combined with roughly 3x ASP versus legacy sensors, indicate a structural shift toward higher-value system sales. If pipeline converts, this durable product mix change can lift revenue quality, expand TAM and support margin expansion over multiple quarters.
Negative Factors
Negative cash flow and low cash balance
Persistent negative free cash flow and a modest cash balance create tangible liquidity risk over the medium term. Without rapid revenue conversion, synergy realization, or external funding, constrained cash restricts investment in production scaling, sales/marketing and integration, increasing execution and survival risk before profitability.

Fingerprint Cards Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 13, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 13, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
Overall the call communicated positive operational momentum (double-digit constant-currency growth, strong 62.3% gross margin), significant product progress with AllKey (large share of new pipeline, software launch, higher ASPs) and a strategically endorsed merger that targets meaningful cost synergies and a quick payback. The principal negatives are a current subscale cost structure (negative EBITDA and negative free cash flow, low cash balance) and the dependency on realizing merger synergies and converting pipeline into revenue over time. On balance the positives (growth, margin, product momentum and a credible merger synergies case) outweigh the near-term financial and scale challenges.Positive Updates
Top-line Growth
Revenue increased 4% year-on-year (real terms) and 21% on a constant-currency basis in Q1 2026, reflecting strong underlying demand.

Company Guidance
Management's forward guidance was that the combined FPC–Precise group should deliver double‑digit revenue growth and double‑digit EBITDA margins (adjusted pro‑forma EBITDA ~17%), with NewCo expected to be EBITDA‑positive after realizing at least SEK 45m of identified annual operating synergies (implementation cash cost ~SEK 25m with an estimated ~7‑month payback); the companies together generated roughly SEK 156–160m revenue in 2025 (each ≈SEK 78m) and a pro‑forma 2025 EBITDA of -SEK 19m, the merger is expected to close around mid‑July, and management expects the AllKey shift to accelerate (75% of Q1 new pipeline was AllKey, 60% of that AllKey pipeline were new clients, AllKey deals show ~3x ASP vs sensors and are expected to drive a revenue mix inflection by 2027–2028), while Q1 reported metrics to note were +4% revenue (21% in constant currency), 62.3% gross margin, EBITDA -SEK 14.1m (including SEK 3m non‑recurring merger OpEx), free cash flow -SEK 13.2m, cash SEK 18.2m, headcount ~50 and a pre‑synergy OpEx run‑rate near SEK 90m.Fingerprint Cards Financial Statement Overview
