The revenue beat helped drive adjusted operating profit up to $68 million, a leap from just $3 million in the same period a year ago. Operating income also turned positive at $17 million, reversing a $99 million operating loss from the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, active Klarna users jumped by 21% year on year to 119 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-14ve0pc\">Klarna did give a weaker-than-expected outlook for the upcoming quarter, projecting revenue to land between $960 million and $1 billion, missing the $1.05 billion target analysts had modeled. Despite the soft current-quarter guidance, management reiterated its full-year 2026 growth and profitability projections, highlighting that its short loan durations allow it to effectively manage credit risk and adapt to market shifts in real time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-14ve0pc\">\u201cKlarna is spend-centric, not lend-centric,\u201d Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and cofounder of Klarna, wrote in a statement. \u201cThe FY26 framework is unchanged \u2014 these results give us confidence in the trajectory we laid out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-14ve0pc\">The stock has dropped over 45% since the start of 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Klarna surges on $1 billion in Q1 revenue and user growth Klarna is climbing Thursday after the fintech&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-669217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
