Executive summary
2025 was marked by challenging markets, high raw material costs, and negative currency effects, but cost control and self-sufficiency in wood supply helped mitigate impacts.
Net sales for 2025 were SEK 20,427m, up 1% year-over-year, with higher volumes and prices offset by currency headwinds.
EBITDA declined 8% to SEK 6,564m, mainly due to negative exchange rates and higher raw material costs, partially offset by higher volumes and prices.
Operating profit fell 12% to SEK 4,432m, and net profit dropped 12% to SEK 3,205m; EPS was SEK 4.56.
Strategic investments in production sites led to higher delivery volumes and are expected to drive future productivity and cash flow.

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.
