Vend Marketplaces ASA: Pre-silent newsletter Q2 2026
16 June 2026
Dear investors and analysts,
Ahead of the silent period leading up to the Q2 2026 report on 17 July 2026, Vend Marketplaces ASA (“Vend”) would like to provide an update to the financial market. The purpose of this newsletter is to provide information about April-May 2026 volume data on our verticals, and to remind financial market participants of recent key messages and certain updates.
Following the distribution of this newsletter, Vend’s Investor Relations team will refrain from discussing short-term developments with investors, analysts or other stakeholders before the Q2 2026 report is published.
Our silent period starts 17 June 2026, during which we will refrain from contact with the financial market.
1 Summary of recent key messages
The following key messages were communicated in connection with the Q1 2026 report on 30 April 2026 and are repeated here as a reminder. They reflect the position as at that date and have not been updated for developments since.
- Vend’s marketplaces continue to demonstrate strong underlying health, with Real Estate, Jobs, and Recommerce performing in line with their respective medium-term targets.
- In Mobility, revenue growth of 5% in constant currency in Q1 was below our medium-term target range of 12-17%. Based on Q1 results, current market trends, and after evaluating the effects of mitigation actions, we do not expect Mobility to achieve revenue growth in line with the medium-term target range in 2026. Full-year Mobility revenue growth is expected in the mid-to-high single-digit % range.
- We expect our full-year 2026 cost base (OPEX excluding COGS) to decline by approximately NOK 100 million compared to 2025, a revision from the broadly stable cost commentary provided at Q4 2025.

3 Other information
Price changes Mobility Sweden:
- As anticipated, the pricing adjustment for the professional segment in Sweden took effect in May.
Foreign exchange impact:
- The Norwegian krone strengthened against our main operating currencies (SEK, EUR and DKK) during April-May 2026 versus the same period in 2025. As a share of Group revenue is earned in these currencies, a stronger NOK is a headwind to reported revenue growth. Because our international operations also incur costs in these currencies, this provides a partial natural hedge and the impact on EBITDA is smaller than at the revenue line.
