Event Summary

Exosens reported robust Q1 2026 financial results, with revenue increasing by 19.7% to €122.6 million and adjusted gross margin up 20.1% to €63.5 million. This growth was primarily fueled by strong demand in defense and surveillance markets for night vision and digital imaging solutions, amidst rising geopolitical tensions.
