Key Financial Highlights – Q1 2026
The first quarter of 2026 reflects stable revenue supported by disciplined execution across key customer programs and a strong order backlog. The company remained profitable during the period, with free cash flow reflecting temporary collection delays in certain regions amid the current geopolitical environment.
Revenue for the quarter was EUR 16.8 million. The revenue mix reflects the execution phase of large-scale delivery programs, particularly across MEA and APAC markets, with delivery revenues representing a higher share. The operating environment during the quarter was characterized by increased uncertainty, which impacted customer investment timing and delayed certain decision cycles.
Operating performance remained strong, with EBIT of EUR 4.6 million and an EBIT margin of 27.4%, reflecting consistent operational discipline and platform scalability. Profitability in the quarter was also supported by favorable foreign exchange movements.
Cash flow in the quarter was impacted by challenges in collections in certain regions due to the prevailing environment, leading to a buildup of receivables and an increase in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
Tecnotree continued to enhance its platform capabilities during the quarter, advancing its AI-enabled value chain to enhance customer experience and unlock new revenue opportunities through embedded AI across its digital BSS stack. The company also maintained its focus on increasing efficiency across internal functions and customer operations, particularly through AI-driven operations, including reporting and process automation, as well as preventive and corrective maintenance capabilities.
Padma Ravichander, CEO of Tecnotree, said:
“Our performance in the first quarter reflects the strength of our execution and the resilience of our business model. We continue to see strong demand across our markets, supported by a robust order backlog and sustained customer engagement. Our focus on AI-led innovation and operational efficiency is enabling us to deliver consistent value to our customers while strengthening our long-term growth trajectory.”
During the quarter, Tecnotree received multiple industry recognitions, including awards at the Asia Telecom Awards 2025 for AI Initiative of the Year and Digital Initiative of the Year in the MVNE/MVNO category, as well as the CX Catalyst Award for Impact at The Fast Mode Awards 2025.
The order book remained strong at EUR 105.4 million, driven by new orders in Africa and Latin America, reflecting continued demand for Tecnotree’s products and solutions. Backed by a strong backlog, disciplined execution, and continued platform innovation, the company remains well positioned for sustained growth. Management confirms that the company’s financial performance remains on track, and full-year guidance is maintained across all key metrics.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2026--
She did something revolutionary in 1976: she stopped waiting for permission. She took a vision and created the first female-founded Fortune 500 company. She didn't decide what women wanted. She asked what women actually needed.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260501924225/en/
She looked at closets filled with false choices and compromises: power or femininity, luxury or accessibility, the boardroom or real life...and rejected every single one. She designed for a woman who had to be three versions of herself in one day, and she made clothes that could move with her. A blazer wasn't just a garment; it was a bold statement.
She understood that gatekeeping style was gatekeeping power, so she did the radical thing: she democratized it. She demanded department stores display her brand as complete collections, not parceled pieces – which became the standard. She listed her employees alphabetically to circumvent traditional, male hierarchies.
She proved that quality, comfort, style and accessibility were not opposing forces. They are inevitable partners. Her fashion has moved through generations, worn by women who perhaps didn't even know how iconic the name on the label was.
She was the original girl boss. The small but mighty woman behind the iconic glasses who broke corporate glass ceilings. The one who championed timeless style and confidence for half a century first. And no, it wasn’t that fashion editor.
It was Liz Claiborne.
This May, as the world is captivated by fictional fashion moguls, JCPenney celebrates 50 years of real, bold, timeless style and the designer who made modern women’s fashion accessible to all. Because the most powerful fashion story isn’t written in fiction or up on the screen, it’s written every day by the women who wear Liz Claiborne and yes, JCPenney.
As the exclusive retailer of Liz Claiborne since 2009, JCPenney didn’t just recognize her impact, but instead built on her legacy – elevating her vision across every category, making her one of the retailer’s top selling women’s brands. From petite to plus sizes, across apparel, home, shoes, accessories and fragrance, Liz Clairborne has become one of JCPenney’s most trusted heritage brands, earning more than 5,000 five-star customer reviews. For over 15 years, JCPenney has been the platform where Liz's original promise – that style, quality, and accessibility belong to everyone – continues to thrive and evolve.
"Liz Claiborne didn't just build a company; she started a movement. She understood that confidence is every woman’s right, not something unobtainable for the few,” said Michelle Wlazlo, Chief Executive Officer of JCPenney. “For five decades, her vision has defined what it means to dress for the life you want and deserve. That spirit lives on at JCPenney today through our incredible private brands that democratize fashion and partnerships with trailblazing women who, like Liz, refuse to accept false choices and insist on making style accessible to all."
In honor of Liz Claiborne 50 th anniversary, JCPenney is launching a capsule collection that pays tribute to Liz’s motto that your wardrobe should “fit the way you live.” The collection features 80 curated pieces that capture Liz's fearless design ethos: power blazers that command a room, perfectly pleated trousers that move from desk to dinner, statement sweater vests layered for endless possibility, and A-line skirts engineered for real bodies and real moments. Each piece is a masterclass in confidence; because timeless style never goes out of fashion – it gets inherited, reinvented, and worn by the next generation of women who refuse to compromise.
Shop the collection starting May 8 at in-store and online at JCPenney.com.
