In 2025, the company reported revenue of 6.06 billion DKK and a profit of 34.16 million DKK, indicating a recovery from a dip in profit in 2024. While revenue has grown from 4.50 billion DKK in 2021 to 6.06 billion DKK in 2025, profit margins have fluctuated, raising concerns about operational efficiency.
