North Media posts strong Q3 earnings growth driven by a 9% revenue surge in its Last Mile division, prompting the company to narrow its 2026 financial guidance despite a 3% decline in year-to-date revenue.
Q3 2026 revenue grew 7%, and Last Mile EBITDA more than doubled to DKK 28m from DKK 11m, with EBIT rising to DKK 18m from DKK 1m. Management simultaneously narrowed the 2026 guidance on the back of strong year-to-date earnings, which typically signals a firmer outlook and supports the share price. Against this, YTD revenue is still down 3% and Digital Services revenue was flat, which tempers but does not offset the positive earnings momentum.
Growth came from the distribution businesses, Last Mile, helped by an additional distribution week in Denmark, higher printed matter volumes, and the Swedish parliamentary elections, with Q3 revenue up 9% to DKK 268m and EBITDA rising to DKK 28m from DKK 11m.
The company is narrowing its financial guidance for 2026 based on year-to-date performance, but the announcement does not include the specific guidance figures.
