CEO JUHANI HINTIKKA
F-Secure’s revenue grew by 8% which combined with our scalable business model resulted in adjusted EBITDA margin of 19% during the third quarter.
The revenue growth from corporate security products accelerated to 13% year-on-year. In business security software demand for our cloud-native solutions translated into strong order growth for EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) and Cloud Protection for Salesforce. In Managed Detection and Response (MDR) our focus on key verticals resulted in deals with several new customers from manufacturing, technology and financial service industries. While our MDR business is still in an investment phase, our position as the trusted partner to solve complex cyber security challenges combined with the increasing market demand presents a great opportunity.
The cyber security consulting revenue grew by 2% year-on-year. Regional variations in business performance continued, as COVID-19 related restrictions still had a negative impact during Q3 in some markets. I was pleased to see good demand for subscription-based services where customers appreciate our outcome-based approach. Additionally, customers’ technology-driven business strategies create demand for high-value services that require deep expertise from cloud environments. Attracting and developing talent with the right skillsets is the key to success in this business.
Consumer security continued on a growth path with the Q3 revenue growing by 6% year-on-year which was driven by the sales of our whole portfolio, across the service provider channel. Device activations increased and renewal performance was solid. In addition, our partnership approach resulted in some existing service providers signing new deals to add more F-Secure products to their offering.
F-Secure builds and sustains trust in the digital society. To further this mission, we are working to improve the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence in the cyber security industry. F-Secure is a key industrial partner in the SPATIAL project by the European Commission where this collaborative effort unites academia and industry to increase the reliability and security of artificial intelligence and data management in cyber security applications.
At the Capital Markets Day, we announced the new strategy that is based on having three growing business areas brought together by technology. In September we started a strategic review that aims at finding a company structure that enables optimal capital allocation for both corporate and consumer security businesses and maximizes shareholder value in the long term. This evaluation will be completed latest by the end of H1/2022. Based on the current progress we continue to see the possible listing of consumer security business as one alternative.
