Fails WP:NCORP, WP:SIRS. Routine references don't support the article. While the company is listed, with the assumption that it is automatically notable, references must support it that WP:V and WP:SIRS, not press-releases and profiles.

This link contains an abstract of the report. The abstract notes: "Headquartered in Norway, Zalaris is dedicated to HR and payroll services, with SaaS, BPaas, and consulting offerings. It primarily services the SAP HCM market with HR services and complementary proprietary Zalaris technology (including Zalaris PeopleHub). Zalaris has two divisions: • Professional Services: the implementation division offering project management, technical consulting for SAP HCM/Payroll, SAP SuccessFactors and Zalaris platforms, test management & execution, change management, and digital adoption execution • Managed Services: primarily managed payroll as well as application support (AMS). Its Managed Services business also has payroll services clients where the HCM technology is not SAP. To support this, it delivers HCM integrations with Workday and Oracle."
The article notes from Google Translate: "Now that all the new Tech companies are getting a lot of attention, Zalaris is quickly forgotten. The company has a high degree of repetitive revenues and low customer ways. After two bad acquisitions in 2018, the stock developed weakly. In fact, the operating margin fell from 9-10 to 2 per cent, says Henriette Trondsen. ... The company is in the midst of a turnaround, supported by some activist investors. The margin has also improved during the first half of the year, although some derives from cost cuts associated with the corona pandemic. Nevertheless, Zalaris shows positive development, says Trondsen. ... If Zalaris manages to deliver a margin improvement, it is up to a replay of the stock, says Trondsen, and continues: 'I think they're going to make acquisitions so I wouldn't have been surprised if they take any steps in relation to this. Therefore, my recommendation is long -term and not short -term.'"
The analyst report notes: "However, in our view, the main near-term risk revolves around its Professional Services segment that primarily consists of consulting/project-based services. Zalaris could very likely experience that their consultants are unable to work due to either being sick, in quarantine, or that the customers put off work for the same reasons. Some of the work could possibly be done from home, but we don’t know to which extent. To put this into context, Zalaris had 2019 revenues of NOK 777m, EBITDA of NOK 104m, and personnel costs of NOK 437m in the PnL (+NOK 16m of investments in intangibles that likely is capitalized R&D expenses). That said, the company laid off 52 FTEs / 6% of its workforce ahead of the Covid-19 situation that should soften the effect somewhat. In other words, the 2019 figures include limited / no effect from the lay-off, in addition to extraordinary costs due to the use of external consultants."
The analyst report notes: "We attribute the strong beat to the fact that the COVID-19 situation has had limited financial impact on the company. We also note their comment that the underlying margin is higher after concluding the cost-cutting program, although it was negatively affected in Q1 by lower utilization on freed-up capacity during the quarter. This has been a concern of ours during the past time, but the management does not seem to share that concern for now."
