## Geography

CombinedX is headquartered in Karlstad, Sweden, and its specialist companies primarily compete in the Swedish national market. The group also follows customers across the Nordics and into Europe and other international markets, which creates some exposure to cross-border delivery and currency effects. Employee concentration has historically been strongest in Karlstad and other Swedish locations, with additional presence in the Nordics.

## Strategy

CombinedX focuses on building a group of specialized, market-oriented consulting brands rather than a broad generalist firm. Its strategy emphasizes deep niche expertise, collaboration between related specialist companies, and selective add-on acquisitions to strengthen existing platforms. The group also keeps open the option of alternative growth paths for individual specialist companies, including separate listing possibilities.

- **Deepen specialist niches** (medium-term) — Specialization supports pricing power, customer trust, and differentiated expertise.
- **Increase collaboration across related units** (short-term) — Shared knowledge and coordinated selling can improve utilization and expand account coverage.
- **Add-on acquisitions** (medium-term) — Acquisitions can strengthen niche positions and broaden capabilities within existing brands.
- **Expand customer value through data, cloud, and AI** (long-term) — These technologies are central to the group's consulting offer and customer transformation projects.

- Build niche specialist brands with clear domain expertise
- Use collaboration between related companies to create cross-sell
- Pursue add-on acquisitions to deepen existing specialist platforms
- Focus on data, cloud, and AI as core enabling technologies
- Maintain flexibility for different growth paths by specialist company

## Risks

CombinedX depends on third-party software platforms, specialist talent, and customer relationships, so changes in technology, partner ecosystems, or demand can affect delivery and pricing. The business is also exposed to project execution risk, customer concentration, and competitive pressure from larger consulting firms and alternative delivery models. Because the group operates across Sweden and parts of the Nordics, macroeconomic weakness and currency exposure can also influence demand and reported results.

- **Platform dependency** [high] — The group's offerings are built around third-party ecosystems such as Microsoft, Infor, ServiceNow, Qlik, and others.
- **Customer concentration** [high] — The ten largest customers represented about 28% of net sales in 2024, increasing renewal and pricing sensitivity.
- **Project execution risk** [medium] — Consulting projects can lose margin if scope, timing, or staffing assumptions prove wrong.
- **Competitive pressure** [medium] — The company competes with larger consultancies and lower-cost alternatives for specialist work.
- **Macroeconomic and geopolitical demand risk** [medium] — Weaker business confidence or regional instability can delay digital investment decisions.

- Dependence on Microsoft, Infor, ServiceNow and other platforms
- Specialist talent risk if skills are hard to recruit or retain
- Customer concentration and contract renewal risk
- Project losses and delivery overruns can hurt profitability
- Competition from larger and lower-priced consulting firms
- Macro weakness can reduce IT spending and consulting demand

## Accounting

The most important accounting judgments for CombinedX are goodwill impairment testing, acquisition accounting, and lease accounting under IFRS 16. As a consulting group, revenue is also sensitive to project timing and service delivery patterns, while receivables and credit risk matter because the business invoices many customers on short cycles. Acquisitions can add identifiable intangibles and goodwill that affect future amortization and impairment sensitivity.

- **Goodwill impairment** — Could create non-cash write-downs if acquired businesses underperform
- **Acquisition accounting** — Affects balance sheet composition and future expense recognition
- **IFRS 16 leases** — Changes reported leverage and operating expense presentation
- **Trade receivables and credit risk** — Bad debt provisions can affect earnings and cash conversion

- Goodwill impairment testing is important after acquisitions
- Acquisition accounting creates brand and customer relationship intangibles
- IFRS 16 adds lease liabilities and right-of-use assets
- Receivables and credit losses matter in a project-based consulting model
- Revenue timing can vary with project delivery and staffing utilization
