Sanoma Oyj has released its Half-Year Report for 2025, showcasing an operational profit increase led by Learning. Despite a slight decline in revenue, operational profit reached 62.0 million euros. Media Finland saw a decrease mainly due to a drop in ad sales. The company’s dividend for 2024 is 0.39 euros per share, paid in three installments.

In the first half of 2025, Sanoma’s revenue was 560.9 million euros, with Learning’s revenue growth offsetting a decline in Media Finland. Operational profit without depreciation increased to 43.3 million euros. Learning’s improved results were driven by sales growth and cost improvements. Media Finland benefited from digital subscription growth but faced challenges in ad sales.

Sanoma’s outlook for 2025 remains unchanged, with reported revenue expected to be between 1.28-1.33 billion euros. The company anticipates operational profit without depreciation to range from 170-190 million euros. Key markets are expected to remain stable, with a focus on responsible AI usage in content production and improved digital offerings in both Learning and Media Finland.

CEO Rob Kolkman emphasized the positive operational performance in the first half of 2025, driven by Learning. The company continues to invest in AI tools for content production, personalized learning solutions, and automated news processes. Media Finland’s subscription sales grew, but ad sales faced challenges. Sanoma remains committed to financial growth and sustainability initiatives, focusing on digital transformation and strategic acquisitions.

Sanoma invites analysts and investors to a webcasted briefing to discuss the results further. The company’s focus on profitability, growth, and sustainability aligns with its commitment to societal impact and environmental responsibility. Sanoma’s innovative learning products and media offerings aim to empower individuals and provide valuable content across Europe.
