“In Q1 FY 2026, our business performed in line with expectations, and pipeline activity remained very strong. While the anticipated deployment timing affected net revenue, we delivered on significantly improving the profitability of our business and are operating in our new segment structure,” said Peter Mainz, Chief Executive Officer of Landis+Gyr. “Following the successful closing of the EMEA transaction, we intend to accelerate our share buyback through a fixed-price offer to return the proceeds to our shareholders. At the same time, we continue to advance our preparations for a U.S. listing while maintaining our commitment to the Swiss listing and reiterate our FY 2026 guidance.”

Order Intake and Backlog

Group order intake totaled $167.0 million in Q1 FY 2026, resulting in a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 0.7x and a trailing twelve-month (TTM) book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x.

As of June 30, 2026, backlog stood at $3,820 million, with 47% attributable to the Grid Intelligence segment. Compared to $3,868 million as of June 30, 2025, backlog remained broadly stable year-over-year.

Net Revenue and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

Our first fiscal quarter, which is seasonally low historically, had net revenue of $232.3 million, down 6.8% from the prior-year quarter due to the timing of project deployments.

Adjusted gross profit for the quarter increased 1.0% year-over-year to $87.0 million, resulting in an adjusted gross margin of 37.4%, an improvement of 280 basis points. The higher profitability was driven by operational efficiencies and a favorable shift in the revenue mix toward recurring software and services.
