Highlights

The Enterprise division delivered organic revenue growth of -7%, while the organic revenue growth excl. FalCom ended at -3%. The development reflects continued strong growth in North America and APAC. The EMEA market, and GN’s EMEA business, remain under pressure but is showing signs of improvement compared to Q1 2026 supported by strong sell-out growth of Evolve3. The divisional profit margin ended at 31.0% reflecting gross margin improvements (57.2%), and channel investments to support growth in H2 2026 from further Evolve3 launches, including the three new products launching in September
The Gaming division delivered organic revenue growth of 5% in a market that continues to be challenged by weak consumer sentiment. The growth is supported by market share gains in headsets, driven by Nova Pro Omni. The divisional profit margin of 15.0% (12.2% in Q2 2025) reflects a significant gross margin expansion (39.2%) benefiting from lower level of tariffs and ASP increases, while making targeted channel investments to support the growth opportunities in H2 2026, including launches across mice and keyboards
Group adj. EBITA (continuing operations) ended at DKK 110 million, equal to an adj. EBITA margin of 5.1%, compared to 7.1% in Q2 2025 reflecting gross margin improvements, offset by front-loaded channel investments tied to the significant number of product launches that will support growth and margin expansion in H2 2026
Free cash flow excl. M&A ended at DKK -616 million, driven by a temporary increase in working capital, due to insourcing activities in the supply chain, which is expected to normalize during the rest of the year as well as one-off costs related to the Hearing carve-out process as earlier communicated
On August 19, the financial guidance was updated, reflecting an upgrade to the adj. EBITA margin from 8-9% to now 9-10% as well as a narrowing of the organic revenue growth from 0-6% to now 0-3%
The Hearing division (discontinued operations) delivered revenue of DKK 1,772 million in the quarter on a demanding comparison base. Transaction still expected to close by end of 2026

Quotes from Executive Management
Peter Karlstromer, CEO of GN Store Nord, comments: “We continue to make strong progress in creating the future for GN. The Evolve3 headsets we recently launched in Enterprise and the Nova Pro Omni headsets we launched in Gaming support improvements in underlying revenue and margins. Thanks to the great work by our teams, we are launching more products than we have in years – strengthening our position and the markets we serve. In Hearing, the ReSound Sensia platform will strengthen the business as we progress the carve-out and advance toward closing the divestment to Amplifon. Taken together, the building blocks for a strong second half are in place, and we are executing with conviction”.
