Published on 11/11/2026 at 03:03 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSGrowth returns as restructuring advances
- Enterprise returned to organic growth as the Evolve3 portfolio gained traction in North America, APAC and gradually improving EMEA markets.
- Gaming revenue grew organically in a recovering market, while tariff refunds supported the quarter's reported margin expansion.
- GN expects to complete the Hearing transaction with Amplifon by year-end and plans shareholder distributions of at least DKK 4 billion through 2027.
GN Store Nord reported a return to growth in its Enterprise division in its third quarter ended September 30, 2026, while maintaining its full-year outlook. In the company's Q3 interim report, management said Enterprise organic revenue rose 1 percent, supported by the second wave of the Evolve3 launch.
Enterprise recovery takes shape
North America and APAC continued to perform solidly, while EMEA showed gradual improvement. The Enterprise divisional profit margin reached 36.7 percent, although the figure benefited from tariff refunds and included channel investments for the Evolve3 rollout.
Gaming organic revenue increased 5 percent in a recovering market. GN said growth was strong in North America and Europe, while the Rest of World region faced a difficult comparison.
Guidance stays in place
GN kept its 2026 continuing-operations outlook at 0 to 3 percent organic revenue growth and a 9 to 10 percent adjusted EBITA margin. Group adjusted EBITA from continuing operations reached DKK 413 million in the quarter, compared with DKK 194 million a year earlier. Tariff refunds contributed DKK 153 million, making the reported improvement stronger than the underlying operating trend alone.
The Hearing division, classified as discontinued operations, generated DKK 1.831 billion in quarterly revenue and 5 percent organic growth. GN expects the agreed sale of the Hearing business to Amplifon to close toward the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and completion of the separation.
