Fiscal Year 2026
-
Sonepar Norge integration is ahead of plan, driving early synergies and cost savings. Q1 revenue grew to DKK 3.3 billion, but harsh winter and price competition pressured margins. 2026 guidance is maintained, with a focus on logistics, digitalization, and growth in defense and data center segments.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw revenue and EBITDA decline amid market headwinds, but key milestones were achieved, including the Sonepar Norge acquisition and major digital and logistics investments. 2026 will be a transition year with margin dilution, but integration benefits and margin improvement are expected from 2027.
-
Q3 revenue and EBITDA were at the low end of expectations, with margins pressured by fierce competition and lack of inventory gains. Guidance for 2025 was narrowed, with growth initiatives and the Sonepar Norway acquisition expected to drive future scale and efficiency.
-
A major acquisition will create a leading Norwegian electrical distributor, doubling product offerings and generating DKK 2.5 billion in annual revenue. DKK 60 million in synergies are expected, with integration benefits targeted by H1 2026 and minimal cannibalization risk.
-
Q2 and July saw disappointing revenue growth, leading to a downward revision of 2025 guidance. Industry segment headwinds, restructuring costs, and low-margin solar projects diluted results, but underlying margins improved and management expects profitability to recover as market conditions stabilize.
-
2025 revenue and EBITDA guidance were lowered due to a market slowdown, especially in industry, and disappointing Q2 and July figures. Cost-saving measures and restructuring are underway, with management confident in future profitability despite ongoing uncertainty and fierce competition.
-
Revenue rose to DKK 3.2 billion in Q1 2025 with 6.5% adjusted organic growth, driven by strong performance in climate energy and installation segments. EBITDA met expectations, and guidance for 2025 is reaffirmed despite ongoing market uncertainty and restructuring costs.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Revenue declined year-over-year to DKK 12.2 billion, with Q4 growth driven by Solar Polaris projects. 2025 guidance anticipates modest revenue growth but lower margins due to price pressure and salary inflation, while major investments and divestments continue.
-
Q3 saw revenue decline and negative organic growth across all segments, but sequential improvement and signs of recovery, especially in Denmark, were noted. EBITDA guidance was maintained despite a slight revenue downgrade, and investments in digital tools and infrastructure continue.
-
Q2 revenue and EBITDA declined year-over-year but showed sequential improvement, with Denmark leading recovery and climate energy sales rising despite PV price deflation. Guidance for 2024 is maintained, and cost controls are offsetting margin pressures.
