CEO Jing Liu comments
"After a slow start to 2026, BPC returned to profitability in the second quarter. Net sales amounted to KSEK 15,025, up from KSEK 12,489 in the first quarter, while EBIT improved to KSEK 1,641, corresponding to a margin of 10.9 percent. Compared with a record-high second quarter last year, net sales decreased by 11 percent. The improvement from Q1 is encouraging, although the performance for the first half is below our expectations. Customer decision-making remains cautious in parts of Europe and North America, although interest in our solutions continues across both biogas and biodegradability.
During the quarter, we completed the move to our new 3,600-square-metre leased facility in Hasslanda, Lund. The relocation required a planned interruption to parts of our operations and temporarily reduced capacity for a few weeks, while having a limited effect on EBIT in related one-off costs. In addition, we received ISO 9001 certification and entered into a three-year collaboration with AURI in the United States. Our priority for the remainder of the year is to make full use of this improved platform, convert market opportunities into financial performance and continue building BPC for sustainable and profitable medium- and long-term growth," says Jing Liu, CEO of BPC Instruments AB (publ).
