Q4 2025 earnings summary3 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Q4 volumes recovered faster than expected after a major customer cyberattack, with business stabilizing by the end of the quarter, though volumes remained below last year.

  • Full-year net sales declined 13.1% year-over-year to SEK 5,045 million, impacted by a cyberattack, currency effects, and anti-dumping fees.

  • Strategic reorganization into decentralized, self-sufficient business units was completed, supporting resilience and a shift toward non-automotive segments.

  • Focus is shifting toward non-automotive sectors, such as consumer electronics and medical equipment, to diversify revenue streams.

  • Strategic focus on selected customer relationships and value-added offerings supported commercial progress, especially in Europe and Asia.

Financial highlights

  • Q4 net sales were SEK 1,243 million, down 15.7% year-over-year; full-year net sales SEK 5,045 million, down 13.1%.

  • Adjusted EBIT for Q4 was SEK 37 million (3.0% margin), up from SEK 20 million (1.4% margin) last year.

  • Full-year EBIT was SEK 141 million (2.8% margin); adjusted EBIT SEK 211 million (4.2% margin).

  • Currency headwinds, especially a stronger SEK, and anti-dumping fees significantly reduced annual profit.

  • Cash flow from operating activities for the year was SEK 429 million, up from SEK 319 million in 2024.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects the negative impact from the cyberattack to be short-term, with recovery anticipated in 2026.

  • No dividend proposed for 2025 to prioritize strategic investments and strengthen financial position.

  • Plans to further increase the share of non-automotive business, aiming for it to become the majority of revenue.

  • Continued focus on operational efficiency, cost discipline, and capital efficiency to support future growth and cash generation.

  • Further improvements in inventory management and working capital are expected in 2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
