Q1 2025 Falck delivered more healthcare services in the first quarter

The Falck Group generated revenue of DKK 3,157 million in Q1 2025, an increase of 3.3% compared to the same period last year. The increase was mainly driven by an increased demand for healthcare services in Scandinavia. Operating profit (EBIT before special items) was DKK 121 million compared to DKK 130 million last year, which was primarily due to rising salary costs in the US and a few large customers insourcing their services in Europe and Colombia.

In the first quarter of 2025, the healthcare company Falck delivered more healthcare services in Europe, the US and Latin America than last year. This resulted in organic revenue growth of 2.5%.

The global healthcare company also continued its strategic investments in digitalisation, operational efficiency and the innovation of new healthcare solutions to strengthen the company for further long-term growth in new and existing markets.

"We delivered in line with our expectations and the increased demand for healthcare services in Scandinavia has helped drive an increase in revenue of 3.3%. The growth confirms that our strategy is gradually expanding our position, and we will continue to back it up with extensive investments,"
says Jakob Riis, CEO of Falck.

Falck has also started preparing for the delivery of an ambulance contract in Catalonia, Spain, which from the beginning of 2026 will increase Falck's position in Spain by 80%.

For the financial year 2025, Falck still expects to achieve organic growth of around 4% and an EBIT margin before special items of 4-5%, despite elevated macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
