The second quarter saw continued positive development across large parts of the Group compared with the previous year. At the same time, the Group's overall results were primarily affected by weaker performance in the Finnish operations. During the quarter, restructuring measures were implemented to strengthen long-term profitability. Restructuring costs amounted to SEK 8.0 million.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 23.1 million (5.7%), excluding restructuring costs. Reported EBITA amounted to SEK 15.1 million (3.7%), compared with SEK 20.7 million (5.1%) in the previous year. Net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 405.1 (408.8) million, slightly below the previous year. Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 42.0 (49.6) million. Diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.50 (0.73). The number of working days was unchanged from the previous year, and a collectively agreed reduction in working hours, equivalent to one working day, fell during the quarter.

We enter the second half of the year with an improved cost structure, stronger order intake and a market showing positive signs. Our focus is firmly on sales, utilization and profitable growth. With our strong and highly motivated team, we are well positioned to gradually improve both earnings and growth during the remainder of 2026.
