CEO Austin Lally commented: We have started 2026 positively, with our second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow alongside a growing customer portfolio and expanding margins. With our portfolio at ~6.3m customers we are now the largest professionally monitored security company globally, by portfolio size. Our approach focuses on high-quality customer intake, ensuring increasing value from our compounding customer portfolio. The resilience of our customer base demonstrates our ability to deliver even against an uncertain consumer backdrop. Looking ahead, we continue to drive long-term value through disciplined customer acquisition, predictable portfolio growth, moving into a phase of progressive shareholder returns.

- By the end of 2025, we passed a significant milestone, becoming the global leader in professionally monitored security by portfolio size. We believe this reflects the strength of our operating model and underscores the quality of our customer portfolio across 18 markets. We continue to see a long growth runway ahead, with low category penetration of only ~4% in our footprint.
- Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) increased to €48.3 per month in Q1, up 2.2% y/y, with growth driven by our annual price increase as well as progress on upselling new products and services to existing customers. As in previous years, we utilised advanced portfolio analytics to ensure pricing was optimised for long-term profitability and value creation.
- Recurring Monthly Costs (“RMC”) were €12.7 in Q1, up 0.6% y/y, impacted as anticipated by the higher inherited cost base in Mexico following the acquisition in Q4 2025. Excluding the Mexico impact, RMC is 1% lower y/y. We expect to reduce Mexico RMC over time as the integration continues. Our track record of sustainable cost transformation continued; including a 9% y/y reduction in maintenance visits per customer as we resolve more incidents using AI on-device technologies.
- EBITDA per Customer (“EPC”) reached €35.5, up 2.8% y/y, demonstrating continued, stable ARPU growth, alongside further progress on our cost base. Portfolio Services Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 73.7%, representing the highly valuable, recurring contribution generated per customer.
- Quarterly annualised attrition was 7.5% in Q1. This was flat y/y, with Q1 our seasonally highest quarter. Improvements across the Group offset the ~8 bps attrition headwind from Mexico. Our low attrition reflects the high-quality intake, resilience of the portfolio and high levels of customer engagement. We continue to expand our AI-based customer management solutions to identify signs of detraction and enable proactive retention actions.
Customer Acquisition

| Revenue | 93.7 | 98.3 | (4.7%) | (4.9%) |
| Adjusted EBITDA | (196.3) | (171.3) | (14.6%) | (14.0%) |
- New installations were 222.9k in Q1 – our second highest quarter on record – up 2.7% y/y. This growth was delivered against an uncertain consumer backdrop towards the end of the quarter, against which we remained focused on quality new customer additions. Geographically, install growth was slightly lower in Latin America, whereas in Europe, demand was strong with the UK and Italy in particular showing good momentum.
- We continued to expand our distribution channels through strategic alliances. In France, our partnership with BPCE has now been scaled nationally, supporting further growth in our second largest market. In Spain, our partnership with MasOrange launched in April, opening another commercial sales channel in our largest market. Sales made through alliance partnerships increased, and the development of this channel offers incremental growth opportunities across the group.
- Cost per Acquisition (“CPA”) was €1,574 in Q1, up 6.7% y/y and in line with our expectation. We continued to experience media cost inflation across both digital and TV channels, that began in the second quarter of 2025. We remain comfortable at these levels of investment – our Acquisition Multiple was broadly stable y/y at 3.7x – including continued rebranding investment in Portugal.

1) Defined as Cash Flow for the period excluding changes in borrowings, M&A activity, and returns to shareholders2) Defined as Capital Expenditures divided by Revenue
- Free Cash Flow: Building on progress made in Q4 we generated €39m of positive Free Cash Flow in Q1, a significant improvement compared with a Q1 2025 outflow of (€56m). This reflects strong growth in operating cash flow, lower financing costs and continued reduction in our portfolio reinvestment rate. In addition, we received a €16m tax refund in Sweden. We are confident in delivering positive Free Cash Flow for the full year and reaffirm our expectation to pay our first interim dividend in the second half of 2026.
- Working Capital: We reported a working capital outflow of €48m in Q1. The primary driver of working capital investment was higher inventory, which increased €33m in Q1, consistent with the customary first-half seasonal pattern.
- Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditure increased +7.9% y/y to €258m in Q1. Our capital expenditure intensity reduced to 25.3% in Q1, down 68 bps y/y, as we continue to capitalise a lower proportion of customer acquisition costs. In the quarter we made further progress with our 2G/3G upgrade program, investing €19.2m (Q1 2025 €18.5m) to upgrade existing 2G/3G hardware ahead of expected network sunsets towards the end of the decade. This investment helps support enhanced customer lifetime value and upsell potential. We also made a strategic investment to further develop our Wi-Fi SensingTM technology, in partnership with Origin Wireless Inc.
- Refinancing: On 24 April 2026, we finalised a €570m Term Loan A upsize with several key lending banks. The proceeds were used to redeem our €450m 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due in February 2028 and partly redeem our €1,175m 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due in February 2029. Pro forma for this refinancing, our proforma WACD has reduced to ~4.5%.
- Net Debt & Leverage: Q1 closed with LTM leverage at 2.8x, a 0.1x improvement during the quarter with net debt below €5.0bn. Our balance sheet remains in active transition; we confirm our year-end 2026 leverage target of 2.5x to 2.75x and reaffirm our Medium-Term target of around 2.5x. Available liquidity was €907m as of 31 March 2026, combining cash-on-hand and available credit facilities.
Other Updates
- AI Programme: In the quarter we materially accelerated our AI agenda which remains a core enabler of our business model, supported by our Global AI Office, to develop, align and scale new AI initiatives. We have deployed a high-quality AI Ops technology platform. These enablers position us well to rapidly deploy AI use cases across multiple areas of the business, supporting improvements in efficiency, risk management and customer experience, with further roll‑outs planned in Q2 and beyond.
Our AI-powered Customer Insights engine supports deeper customer engagement, helping to reduce attrition and improve customer satisfaction. Following launch in Spain, we analysed over 400,000 customer interactions using AI in the first quarter, enabling proactive actions previously not identifiable. In Q1, we proactively contacted 42k customers to improve engagement and resolve issues, resulting in improved Net Promoter Scores (“NPS”). The programme is expected to launch in our European markets in 2026.
In the first quarter we continued to evolve from reactive assistance to proactive intelligence in our Seniors proposition in Spain. Seniors proactive protection leverages personalised AI algorithms to detect deviation from typical behavioural patterns for our Seniors customers. Deviations from typical patterns alerts our contact centre – allowing for early, proactive intervention. - Innovation: In Q1 we launched Guardian in France, our outside-the-home personal protection service. The service is mobile based, connected to our 24/7 monitoring centres, providing security, assistance and critical peace of mind. Guardian combines geo-location technology with real-time support and is particularly resonating with families. Guardian has an SOS button directly connected to our monitoring centres and includes timer functionality which triggers alerts if the user has not arrived at their destination safely, when expected. We plan to roll out the service more broadly across the Group in 2026.
- Rebrand: Building on our successful launch in Portugal, we began our rebrand in Spain in April. Under the tagline “First to Protect” we will increase investment behind the Verisure brand. Portugal continues to progress well through their brand transition, with approximately 50% of digital traffic already under the Verisure brand. Expected additional marketing investment in Spain and Portugal in 2026 remains in line with previous guidance at approximately €25m. This marketing investment will impact Adjusted EBIT margins and is included in our 2026 guidance.
- ESG: Our longstanding commitment to ESG is key to our purpose, mission, and DNA. In February, Verisure was recognised by Morningstar Sustainalytics as an ESG Leader for the third consecutive year across global, regional, and industry categories. We are ranked amongst the top 10% of companies worldwide for environmental, social and governance performance.
- Protecting What Matters Most: In Q1, highly trained teams in our 24/7 monitoring centres evaluated over 9 million alarm incidents. Of these, in 97,000 situations we provided on-site security or emergency services assistance at our customers’ homes or business premises. Technology enabled human service – always protecting customers and their families in moments of truth, when it really counts.
2026 Outlook
- ARR growth around 10% (excluding Mexico) and Adjusted EBIT margin above 26%.
- Free Cash Flow positive.
- Interim Dividend expected to be paid in the second half of 2026.
Medium-Term Guidance
- ARR growth around 10%.
- Total revenue growth up to 100 bps below ARR growth.
- Progressive expansion in Adjusted EBIT margin to 30% over the long term.

1) Depreciation, amortisation and asset retirements include €14.6m (€21.4m in Q1 2025) of amortisation of capitalised variable sales cost commissions recorded on the balance sheet prior to the 2020 Business Combination. As these costs would have been amortised as an operating cost absent the 2020 Business Combination, it is considered more appropriate to include these assets' amortisation in Adjusted EBIT and not as an acquisition-related SDI. We have therefore added back this amortisation to our adjusted depreciation and amortisation charge with a consequent reduction in Adjusted EBIT. The corresponding tax impact is €2.2m in Q1 2026 (€4.2m in Q1 2025). Refer to section 'Alternative performance measures (APMs)' for more details.
- Group Revenue in Q1 was €1,019m, representing an increase of 10.8% y/y (10.3% at constant currency). The key driver of our revenue growth was a 9.7% increase in customer portfolio, alongside ARPU growth. We benefitted from foreign exchange tailwinds, with non-euro currencies in Brazil, Sweden and Norway having strengthened against the euro over the past twelve months.
- Reported EBITDA was €451.3m in Q1, up 10.2% y/y. Q1 EBITDA included SDI charges related to our IPO as well as lower capitalisation rates on customer acquisition cost, which reduced from 35.3% in Q1 2025 to 34.7%. Q1 Adjusted EBITDA was €472.3m, up 12.8% y/y (12.3% at constant FX) with margins increasing 81 bps to 46.3%. Margin progression was driven by operating leverage through continued strong control of costs.
- SDIs impacting EBITDA in Q1 were €21.0m. These non-operating items include the accrual of IPO-related bonuses with employee retention performance conditions to be paid in April 2026, roll-out of our new ERP systems and programme management costs related to our rebrand programme in Spain.
- The Group’s Operating Profit increased 20.7% y/y to €121.8m in Q1. This improvement includes a €19.8m charge for share-based compensation. Total D&A and Asset Retirements increased 0.9% y/y as amortisation from our 2020 Business Combination continued to reduce. Adjusted EBIT was €277.0m, up 20.1% y/y (19.3% at constant FX) and Q1 Adjusted D&A and Asset Retirements increased 3.8% y/y, to €195.3m, representing 19.2% of revenue.
- In Q1, the Group reported positive Net Income for the first time of €61.8m. We benefited from the positive mark to market valuation of our €1bn interest rate swap, as well as favourable currency movements on inter-group loans. On an adjusted basis, Net Income increased to €152.1m, up 105.5% y/y. This increase was driven by strong profitability growth, alongside a reduction in interest charges of €42m y/y. Lower interest charges benefited our Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”), which in Q1 was approximately 26%. This is lower year over year, mainly driven by lower non-deductible interest costs.

1) Includes M&A related costs and a €4.9m gain on disposal of a minority interest investment.2) In Q1 2026, the Group incurred costs for programme management and technology updates, related to the rebranding from Securitas Direct to Verisure in Spain and Portugal.3) Includes a provision of €2.4m and related legal costs for a historic technology royalty claim from a supplier. The provision relates to the period from 2021 to the current period.4) Includes an accrual of IPO-related bonuses, with employee retention performance conditions, to be paid in April 2026.5) Refer to note 4 'Share-based compensation' for more details.6) Depreciation, amortisation and asset retirements includes €14.6m (Q1 2025: €21.4m) of amortisation on capitalised variable sales cost commissions recorded on the balance sheet prior to the 2020 Business Combination. As these costs would have been amortised as an operating cost absent the 2020 Business Combination, it is considered more appropriate to include these assets' amortisation in Adjusted EBIT and not as an acquisition-related SDI. We have therefore added back this amortisation to our adjusted depreciation and amortisation charge with a consequent reduction in Adjusted EBIT. The corresponding tax impact is €2.2m in Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: €4.2m). See below for more details on amortisation of acquisition related items.
