Predrag Savinovic's questions to Yubico AB (YUBCF) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Predrag Savinovic asked for details on the Q1 gross margin decline, the outlook for Q2 margins given FX rates, the start of Q2 bookings, whether customer pauses are Yubico-specific, and what steps are being taken to improve sales processes.
Answer
CFO Camilla Oberg attributed the gross margin pressure to a stronger Swedish krona and significant FX volatility, contrasting with a positive inventory revaluation in Q4. CEO Mattias Danielsson added that while there are short-term swings, he is optimistic about maintaining ~80% margins long-term. Regarding Q2, Danielsson stated it's too early to predict bookings but confirmed the Q1 hesitation has continued. He also detailed sales improvement initiatives, including building a global channel program and a new commercial sales team for mid-sized companies.
