F-Secure Corporation Lowers Earnings Guidance for the Full Year 2025 F-Secure Corporation lowered earnings guidance for the full year 2025. For the period, the company expects low single-digit currency-neutral revenue growth for 2025 against mid-single digit revenue growth for 2025 as mentioned in previous outlook. From an operational perspective, the adoption of new security services by Tier1 customers has progressed slower than expected. In addition, the closing of new Tier 1 deals, both with existing and new partners, has been delayed due to factors such as organizational changes, shifting priorities, limited resources, and evolving business cases. More than 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar during the first half of the year has a strong impact, resulting in a negative effect of more than EUR 3 million on full-year forecast compared to the level at the beginning of 2025. The revised profitability guidance reflects the revenue decline. While cost control has remained disciplined, F-Secure’s business model limits the ability to fully offset the lower revenue through cost reductions alone. Despite these challenges, F-Secure maintains a strong opportunity pipeline and remains optimistic about future growth. Board Change • May 02
High number of new directors There are 5 new directors who have joined the board in the last 3 years.
