  "account": "Tecnotree released its Q3 2026 financial results on October 29, noting increased profitability and cash generation that led to a raise in its full-year revenue projections. The Finnish firm specializing in digital business support systems disclosed a 84 basis point expansion in EBIT margin and its tenth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow, causing shares to rise over 5% during early trading. CFO Indiresh Vivekananda discussed how disciplined operations and AI-driven automation are contributing to improved financial performance despite modest revenue growth in the high single digits. The company's order backlog remained steady above €105 million, providing insight into future revenue streams. Over the first nine months of 2026, Tecnotree showcased overall improvement across key financial metrics, such as a 7.8% increase in total revenue to €57.0 million from the previous year, with a 9.5% constant-currency growth of €57.8 million excluding foreign exchange effects. Revenue growth resulted in EBIT increasing by 43.8% to €19.0 million, with the margin expanding from 25.0% to 33.4%. Net income rose 23.8% to €7.4 million, while free cash flow improved 21.0% to €3.9 million, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of positive cash generation. Management attributed the EBIT improvement to operational discipline, technology investments, AI automation, and personnel cost reductions achieved through lower-cost delivery locations and AI-augmented roles. Despite a 34% decline in orders received to €55.7 million in the nine-month period, the order backlog remained stable at €105.6 million. The Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific regions contributed €44.8 million in revenue for the nine-month period, while Europe and the Americas generated €12.1 million.",
