Performance Metrics

* Total ARR – Support & Maintenance ARR (measures the current annual run rate of support & maintenance revenues, which is calculated based on the expected revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023, excluding one-time items, and multiplied by 4) and SECaaS ARR (measures the current annual run rate of SECaaS revenues, which is calculated based on estimated revenues for the month of Dec. 2023 and multiplied by 12).

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation:

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company and represents revenues adjusted for the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after including deferred revenues related to the fair value adjustment resulting from purchase accounting and excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment and changes in taxes-related items.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they present a better measure of the Company’s core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company’s operating performance.

STOCKHOLM, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hexagon AB is hosting its Capital Markets Day today in London. At the event, President and CEO Anders Svensson, CFO Enrique Patrickson and the Presidents of Hexagon’s Business Areas will set out Hexagon’s ambitious growth strategy and its new 2026–2030 financial targets.

“Hexagon enters this new phase as a focused global leader in precision measurement and positioning, with a solutions portfolio essential to enabling industrial autonomy,” said Anders Svensson, President and CEO of Hexagon. “Our new targets reflect both the quality of our portfolio and the discipline of The Hexagon Way. With a strong leadership team and the financial flexibility to invest behind our growth priorities both organically and through synergistic acquisitions, we are well placed to deliver value creation for shareholders.”

“Today we are taking transparency to the next level — enhancing our disclosures, introducing EBITAC as our key profitability metric and providing clarity around our capital allocation priorities,” said Enrique Patrickson, CFO of Hexagon. “EBITAC is the right metric for Hexagon, a technology company with a significant R&D spend, funding market-leading product launches that drive our growth. With additional transparency comes additional accountability. We commit to drive capital allocation around R&D, M&A and Dividends with discipline and rigor.”

A focused group focused on enabling industrial autonomy

Hexagon has undertaken significant portfolio changes, namely the upcoming spin-off of Octave and the sale of the Design & Engineering business. The resulting business is a focused global leader in precision measurement and positioning with proforma 2025 revenue of €3.7bn, EBITAC of €826m (22% EBITAC margin) and ~17,000 employees.

Hexagon is organised into three business areas – Manufacturing Intelligence, Infrastructure & Geospatial (formerly Geosystems) and Autonomous Solutions – alongside the Robotics Division, currently in an investment phase.

The overarching growth opportunity that underpins Hexagon’s long-term strategy is enabling customers to move towards true autonomy in their industrial operations.

President and CEO Anders Svensson will outline how Hexagon’s precision measurement and positioning technologies, digital twins and spatial intelligence capabilities are essential to enabling this true industrial autonomy. Hexagon holds market leadership positions across its serviceable addressable market, which is estimated to grow to ~€38bn by 2030.

Anders will also outline the key changes to Hexagon’s operating model. The Hexagon Way is an accountability-driven, decentralised model built around three strategic enablers: innovation and AI; portfolio management and M&A; and people & culture.

Central to this model is a clear accountability structure: the group’s three Business Areas are divided into 17 Divisions, each with full ownership of its financial performance and a defined strategic mandate covering three value creation priorities – Stability, Profitability and Growth.

The group-wide enablers allow Divisions to identify and execute on strategies targeted specifically to their markets and customers while drawing on the scale and resources of the broader Hexagon organisation. This balance of focused execution at the Division level and shared capability at the group level is designed to unlock each Division’s full potential and drive overall performance and shareholder value.

Hexagon’s new mid-term financial targets for 2026 to 2030 will be outlined by CFO Enrique Patrickson alongside a new financial framework including revised metric definitions designed to improve transparency, capital allocation and shareholder value creation.

The new 2026-30 through the cycle targets are:

Average annual organic revenue growth of 4–6% (CAGR 2026–2030)EBITAC margin in the range of 24–26%Annual cash conversion (of EBITAC) of 90–100%

In 2025, Hexagon achieved organic growth of 2.6%, an EBITAC margin of 22% and cash conversion (of EBITAC) of 109%.

Capital allocation

Hexagon’s capital allocation priorities are, in order: reinvestment in organic growth, value-accretive bolt-on M&A, a progressive dividend, and selective larger strategic moves where they enhance long-term shareholder value. The Group’s strong cash conversion and balance sheet provide the flexibility to pursue these priorities through the cycle.

Business Area presentations

Senior leadership from Hexagon’s Business Areas will provide additional context on strategy, markets and Business Area targets. The presenters will be:

Andreas Renulf, President, Manufacturing Intelligence Business AreaHenning Sandfort, President, Infrastructure & Geospatial Business AreaGordon Dale, President, Autonomous Solutions Business AreaArnaud Robert, President, Robotics Division

EBITAC – EBIT1 excluding capitalisation & amortisation of R&D

Hexagon is introducing EBITAC as its primary profitability measure. By immediately reflecting the full cost of R&D investments on the P&L, it will provide a tool to focus management firmly on the return on investment of R&D, go-to-market and capital investments and support performance management and capital allocation. The top end of the target EBITAC margin range (26%) was last achieved in 2021 and corresponds to the highest EBIT1 margin achieved by Hexagon in the last 5-years.

It is defined as adjusted EBIT1 excluding capitalised and amortised R&D.

Hexagon will continue to report EBIT1 (adjusted operating profit) for full transparency. A bridge between reported EBIT, EBIT1 and EBITAC and the EBITAC performance between 2024 and 2025 can be found in the appendix to this announcement.

Due to its rapidly evolving structure Hexagon has decided to exclude Robotics from the 2026-30 financial targets and the calculation of EBITAC. This gives better visibility on the core group performance.

The financial performance of Robotics will be disclosed on a quarterly basis.

New sustainability targets

Hexagon is committed to operating responsibly for the good of the environment. It has set challenging new targets for emission reductions. Hexagon targets a 70% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030 (from a 2022 baseline) and net-zero in Scope 1, 2 & 3 by 2050.

In 2025 Hexagon saw a 33% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions from its 2022 baseline.

2 hours ago

April 30, 2026

BEIJING, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Auto China 2026, Neusoft Smart Go, a subsidiary of Neusoft Corporation (SSE:600718), officially announced its strategic upgrade. The company now aims to become a global leading provider in full-domain upper-body electronics solutions for intelligent vehicles. At the same time, Neusoft Smart Go and Tencent Cloud announced a strategic partnership. Aligning with “AI-defined vehicles” trend, the two parties will focus on key areas such as intelligent cockpits, on-device AI large model applications, ecosystem content integration, in-vehicle cybersecurity, and cloud services. By integrating their technologies and resources, they will engage in in-depth collaboration to develop AI-powered intelligent cockpit products and solutions that offer enhanced interactivity and emotional experiences, accelerating the intelligent transformation of entire vehicles.

The integration of AI large models and ecosystems into vehicles is essentially a full-chain systematic project covering hardware-software architecture adaptation, data processing, compliance assurance, and real-time response. Currently, automakers face challenges such as high in-house R&D expenses, ecosystem integration hurdles, and a lack of differentiated user experiences. They urgently require full-domain solutions that seamlessly integrate hardware and software, offer comprehensive ecosystem coverage, and enable rapid mass production to meet users’ core demands for multi-modal interaction, full-scenario services, and continuous OTA updates.

As a leading cloud service provider in China, Tencent Cloud has core strengths in on-device large models, in-vehicle ecosystems and applications, cloud services, and data compliance assurance. It also offers a full-chain app ecosystem spanning social media, music, maps, and more. In this partnership, the two parties will take Neusoft Smart Go’s next-gen intelligent cockpit system as the core platform, deeply integrating Tencent Cloud’s on-device large models to jointly develop a benchmark AI-powered intelligent cockpit featuring natural conversations, proactive interactions, and highly emotional, smooth experiences. Furthermore, they will fully integrate a wide range of ecosystem apps, enabling seamless transitions between mobile phones and in-vehicle systems across all scenarios.

At present, Neusoft Smart Go has established a product matrix covering a full range of in-vehicle electronics solutions, including central computing platforms, cockpit-driving-parking integration, intelligent cockpits, intelligent communications, intelligent audio systems, and zonal control units. Through a dual-track strategy of high-end cutting-edge solutions and mature standardized products, it can flexibly meet the mass production needs of vehicle models across different regions and price segments worldwide. Leveraging Tencent’s intelligent driving cloud, data compliance, OTA technical support, and AI platform services, the two parties will provide stable, secure, and intelligent hardware-software integrated solutions tailored to the diverse needs of global automakers, comprehensively assisting them in achieving intelligent and AI-driven upgrades for entire vehicles.

Jian Guodong, Senior Vice President of Neusoft and CEO of Neusoft Smart Go, said, “The integration of AI large models and full-scenario ecosystems represents an inevitable trend and a shared vision for both Neusoft Smart Go and Tencent Intelligent Mobility. Leveraging Neusoft Smart Go’s technical expertise in the full domain of upper-body electronics and Tencent’s leading solutions in AI large models and full-chain ecosystems, the two parties will collaborate to provide global automakers with truly mass-producible and evolvable AI-powered intelligent cockpit solutions.”

Zhong Xuedan, Vice President and Head of Tencent Intelligent Mobility, said, “We share complementary strengths and similar philosophies with Neusoft Smart Go, laying a solid foundation for cooperation. Both parties will further deepen cooperation in AI-powered intelligent cockpits, jointly exploring proactive interactions and emotional services powered by large models, transforming the cockpit into a smarter companion that better understands users.”

The deep integration of on-device AI large models and full-scenario ecosystems is reshaping the value boundaries and user experiences of intelligent cockpits. The automotive industry needs to accelerate innovation and mass production, achieving a balance between advanced technologies and cost-effectiveness. Neusoft Smart Go will focus on enhancing its systematic integration, software-hardware synergy, and global delivery capabilities. Through collaboration with more ecosystem partners, it will provide sustained momentum for the intelligent transformation of the automotive industry.
