Columbus strengthened its pipeline in the first quarter of 2026 despite the soft market situation, leaving the company well positioned for increased activity through the year. “The first quarter was characterised by a cautious start, but activity levels improved gradually throughout the quarter, and we strengthened both our pipeline and order intake with several larger project wins. This puts us in a stronger position to convert gradually improving demand into profitable growth in Q2,” says CEO & President Søren Krogh Knudsen.

EBITDA amounted to DKK 26m (Q1 2025: DKK 46m), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 6.3% (Q1 2025: 10.7%), reflecting the lower activity level, partly offset by continued cost discipline and a focus on profitable engagements.
