Interim Report Q1 January – March 2026
Comment from President and CEO Bodil Sonesson:
”We are exiting a quarter where the outcome, in line with the profit warning on 20 April, was weaker than anticipated. The deterioration in earnings is something we view with considerable seriousness. The result for the quarter is largely a consequence of an uncertain external environment and a continued subdued economic climate within the construction sector. Together with a less favourable sales mix and negative currency effects stemming from a stronger Swedish krona, this has had a markedly adverse impact on net sales for the quarter. Although the figures in this report confirm what has previously been communicated, my and the management team’s full focus is now on addressing the underlying causes through clear and concrete measures.”
The first quarter:
- Order intake was MSEK 1,969 (2,227), a decrease of 11.6% adjusted to 14.6% for currency effects and acquisitions of MSEK 66.
- Net sales were MSEK 1,821 (1,940), a decrease of 6.1% adjusted to 8.8% for currency effects and acquisitions of MSEK 52.
- EBITA before IAC was MSEK 44 (163), a decrease of 72.9% with an EBITA margin before IAC of 2.4% (8.4).
- Earnings per share before IAC were SEK -0.16 (0.43).
- Cash flow from operating activities was MSEK -160.0 (26.4).
