- Q1 2026 revenue reached NOK 231.7 million, up 42.6% from a year earlier.
- Americas revenue rose 54% year over year to NOK 143.6 million.
- Appear reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of approximately NOK 1.0 billion, implying about 25% growth.

Why It Matters
Appear’s quarter shows demand concentrated in live sports and broadcaster infrastructure, with the Americas doing most of the heavy lifting. The company is leaning on long-term sports league partnerships, recurring upgrades between seasons, and larger live-event deployments, including Tier 1 football production in EMEA. That matters because it ties revenue growth to a repeatable customer base rather than one-off projects. The key signal to watch is how much of the rest-of-year performance comes from the major global sports events Appear flagged, including the FIFA World Cup in the Americas.
