CTEK AB: Interim report:" Strategic progress and well positioned for the second half of the year"

April - June 2026

• Net sales amounted to SEK 179 million (197). Organically, net sales decreased by 8 percent.
• The gross margin amounted to 65.7 percent (56.3).
• EBITA amounted to SEK 14 million (14), corresponding to a margin of 7.8 percent (6.9).
• Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 25 million (31).

" Second-quarter net sales were softer than the previous year, primarily as a result of a changed ordering pattern within Client Brand. At the same time, both the gross and the EBITA margin strengthened, and we continue to advance our positions - with a strengthened product portfolio, BMW as a new customer on our latest platform CS ONE, continued growth within the Consumer division and a positive cash flow", says Henrik Fagrenius, President and CEO of CTEK.

Continued positive cash flow creates further freedom to act.

"Cash flow from operating activities remained positive during the quarter, primarily driven by continuous work with working capital. The continued strong cash generation contributes to a solid financial position, with a leverage of 0.7x, which is well below our financial target. This gives us increased freedom to continue investing in growth, both organically and through selective acquisitions in order to accelerate our strategy.", concludes Henrik Fagrenius, President and CEO of CTEK.
