  • Sales revenue amounted to EUR 61 million, with operating profit of EUR 7.5 million and net profit of EUR 6.2 million.

Along with the growth of key financial indicators in the first quarter of 2026, the Ericsson Nikola Tesla Group continued to pursue activities aimed at strengthening long-term competitiveness and building a solid foundation for further development.

Commenting on the achieved results, Siniša Krajnović, President of the Management Board of Ericsson Nikola Tesla, stated:

“In the first quarter of 2026, the ENT Group recorded an increase in sales revenue and other key financial indicators, confirming the resilience of its business and its ability to deliver on defined objectives in a demanding market and technological environment. The achieved results reflect the successful execution of contracted activities, while business performance was further strengthened by operational efficiency and a balanced contribution of the business segments.

During the quarter, particular emphasis was placed on activities laying the foundations for further growth and development, including the definition of the long-term ENT2030 strategy as well as the development and realization of new business opportunities. Investments in digital transformation continued, including the application of artificial intelligence and automation of business processes, strengthening of cybersecurity, development of products and services, and enhancement of employee competencies.

In the domestic market, we continued the execution of contracted activities in the telecom solutions segment, primarily through projects aimed at the modernization and expansion of the networks of leading operators. The long-term cooperation with Hrvatski Telekom and A1 Hrvatska is focused on the further development of 5G technology, optimization of network resources and improvement of service quality. Through close cooperation with key public sector institutions, the Digital Society segment continued to strengthen its development momentum. Particular emphasis was placed on projects in the areas of healthcare, public administration, and public and national security, thereby further confirming Ericsson Nikola Tesla’s role as a reliable partner in the development of secure, scalable, and interoperable digital solutions. In this context, the implementation of a strategic partnership between industry and academic community, aimed at the development of unmanned and autonomous systems, was initiated as part of our long-term positioning in the field of solutions for mission-critical systems.

In export markets, within the telecom segment we maintained our technical and operational presence through the development of partnerships and the realization of mobile network modernization projects with customers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo. 

Software Engineering and Services represent one of the key pillars of business stability and an important source of added value. ENT’s Research and Development Center maintained a high level of activity and stable capacities, with strong involvement in the development of advanced RAN and software solutions within the Ericsson Group. Customer Solutions and Services additionally contributed to business performance through the delivery of complex projects for Ericsson’s customers in international markets.

A significant cash flow from operating activities was generated, primarily as a result of regular collection of receivables, while the Group’s balance sheet remains stable. Such a financial position enables continued investments in key competencies, employee development, digital transformation and technological excellence.

Through the ENT2030 strategy, we have defined the long-term position of Ericsson Nikola Tesla as a market- and technology-strong, financially resilient and operationally efficient company. Building on this foundation, we plan to grow our business while further strengthening our role as a leader in telecommunications solutions, a reliable partner in digital transformation, including the development of solutions for mission-critical systems and as one of the leading R&D and service centers within the Ericsson Group.

Our people and organizational culture are at the center of the implementation of ENT2030 strategy. Our ENTCode value framework is focused on ethics, responsibility and professionalism, while promoting cooperation, innovation and clear personal accountability. We are confident that such an organizational culture represents one of the key prerequisites for long-term competitiveness and successful execution of strategic objectives.

As we enter the remainder of 2026, we remain committed to the consistent implementation of strategic priorities, responsible business management and the maintenance of stable operating results. This combination of clear direction, operational efficiency and financial stability forms the foundation of long-term value that Ericsson Nikola Tesla builds for its employees, customers and shareholders,” concluded Siniša Krajnović.
