A new quarter is behind us, and weโve gotten off to a strong start in Q2โwhere, not least, Easter was a welcome highlight, offering time for reflection and quality moments with family and friends.
The first quarter of 2025 will go down in history as an eventful period, marked by major economic, political, and security-related developments with significant global impact. These events have created widespread uncertainty, and many experts are still analysing their consequences. This will undoubtedly be a subject of historical analysis for years to come, and it will be crucial for many businesses to navigate wisely through this unpredictable time.
As founder and CEO of KOKAI, my focus is not to provide a deep analysis of global affairs but rather to share how we at KOKAI have responded to these challengesโand the concrete results weโve achieved.
Behind our record-breaking quarter lies not just strategy and hard work, but a deep commitment to our customers and a team spirit that defines who we are at KOKAI.
KOKAI has just concluded our best quarter everโboth in terms of sales, profit, order intake, new customers, and skills development. We achieved an organic growth of 45% compared to the same quarter last yearโwell above our targets for the year. We also delivered a record-breaking profit margin of 18% after tax. Behind these figures lies hard work, strategic planning, and a strong team spirit across all of our employees.
The main reason behind this strong performance, despite market uncertainty, lies in KOKAIโs DNA: an uncompromising focus on our customers and projects. Quality is at the centre of everything we do, and we stay consistently up to date through skill development, certifications, and internal collaboration. Our strength also lies in our ability to listen to our customers, understand their challenges, and create value together through tailored solutions.
Our industry is characterised by rapid and major technological changes, and we currently find ourselves in the midst of a technological revolution. This presents great opportunities for those who can adapt quickly. KOKAIโs employees have repeatedly shown an impressive ability to understand the significance of these changes and leverage new technology to benefit our customersโhelping them increase efficiency and sharpen their competitive edge.
In times of uncertainty, we donโt just adaptโwe find opportunity. That mindset is what continues to drive KOKAI forward.
What do we expect moving forward? While we anticipate the market will continue to be marked by uncertainty, we at KOKAI primarily view this as a series of new opportunities. Together with our strategic partnersโMicrosoft, Insightsoftware, and Aimplanโwe will continue to actively grow within our core areas: FabricโPower BI and Aimplan, and further strengthen our position in the markets we operate in.
We at KOKAI are therefore highly optimistic about the future. We look forward to continuing our strong collaboration with existing customers, welcoming even more new clients into the KOKAI family, andโmost importantlyโcontinuing to invest in our talented employees, who are the very foundation of our success.
Curious about what KOKAI can do for your business? Get in touch with us through our website, send us an email, or reach out directly to me or one of my colleagues. We always look forward to a friendly and informal chat over a cup of coffeeโand to exploring how we can contribute to your growth and success.
