• The company is entitled to suspend or stop the program at any time subject to a company announcement.

In the first half of 2026, revenue at NRD Cyber Security, a Lithuanian-owned cybersecurity consulting, services, and technology company, increased by 3.3 percent compared to the same period in 2025, reaching 6.2 million euros. Normalised EBITDA, which reflects operational efficiency, increased by 22 percent to 1.1 million euros compared to the first half of 2025. The company’s growth is driven by an increasing number of customers for managed security services such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Security Operations Centre (SOC). It is expected that the number of such customers will double by the end of this year compared to the end of 2025.

“The changes brought about by the NIS2 Directive, the maturing cybersecurity landscape, and the desire to become a reliable and reputable supplier will continue to drive the demand for managed security services. Additionally, the growing number of organisations looking to add security monitoring services to their portfolios creates new opportunities for Natrix, our own-developed platform, to enable the provision of such services with a predictable and controllable cost model“, – says Vilius Benetis, Director of NRD Cyber Security.

In the first half of 2026, NRD Cyber Security started projects aimed at strengthening sectoral cyber resilience in both Lithuania’s environmental and defence sectors and abroad, by launching a project for Moldova’s energy sector. The use of own-developed products in the incident management units (CSIRT/SOC) of sector-specific regulators enables NRD Cyber Security to develop intellectual property for sector-specific value creation. The company is also working on regional cyber capacity building in the fields of information sharing and cybercrime prevention, with projects set to launch soon in West Africa in collaboration with ECOWAS and WACREN.

About NRD Cyber Security

NRD Cyber Security offers cybersecurity solutions, consulting, and other services. The company aims to create secure digital environments for countries, governments, and businesses, and undertakes a wide range of projects around the world. The company is managed by INVL Technology, a Nasdaq Vilnius-listed IT investment company.

• NRD Cyber Security 2026 H1 results

Madrid, October 2, 2026.- Spanish listed technology services company Lleida.net (BME:LLN, EPA:ALLLN) sent more than one million certified notifications during September 2026, combining messages sent through its certified email and its Openum service.

Certified email turns any email into a reliable electronic notification with full legal validity, and it can be sent from Gmail, Outlook or any other email client. Openum sends documents by email, SMS or WhatsApp and certifies their delivery, opening, content and integrity through electronic evidence, a timestamp and a legally valid evidentiary document. Both services are built on Lleida.net’s own technology, protected by its patents.

Certified email is the service used to prove the attempt at prior negotiation required by Spain’s Organic Law 1/2025, in force since April 3, 2025. The company closed June with 12,545 active customers, the highest figure in its history.

“Companies, law firms and public administrations now take it for granted that an important communication must be provable. Every dispute settled with clear evidence before it reaches a court saves time and money for citizens, for businesses and for the justice system,” said Sisco Sapena, CEO of Lleida.net.

Founded in 1995, Lleida.net is one of the leading European providers of certified notification, electronic contracting and digital signature services. The company holds more than 300 patents in over 60 countries and is listed on BME Growth (Madrid) and Euronext Growth (Paris), as well as in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
