Fiscal Year 2026
-
Organic growth of 4.4% was driven by public sector demand, while gross margin declined due to mix effects and price pressure. Strong cash flow and reduced leverage were achieved, with cost-saving measures underway and a full exit from the consumer business completed.
-
Organic sales grew 18% year-over-year, led by strong LCP and public sector demand, while adjusted EBITDA and cash flow improved significantly. Gross margin declined due to mix and price pressure, and market uncertainty persists, especially with expected memory shortages in 2026.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 delivered 3.6% organic growth, driven by LCP strength in the Nordics, while SMB remained weak. Efficiency measures yielded SEK 200 million in annual savings, and updated sustainability targets were approved. Market stabilization is underway, with larger customers leading recovery.
-
Q3 saw sales decline 2.9% organically amid weak demand, with margin pressure in Benelux offset by stabilization in SMB and defense-driven growth in Nordics. Cost efficiency measures and a SEK 1.24 billion rights issue improved leverage, while the company exits B2C to focus on B2B and standardized services.
-
Q2 saw 4.5% sales growth driven by LCP, but margins and EBITDA declined due to market pressure and a SEK 2.5 billion goodwill impairment. A SEK 1,250 million rights issue will reduce leverage, and efficiency measures are on track to deliver cost savings.
-
Q1 saw a 17.5% sales decline and a sharp drop in EBITDA, mainly due to weak demand and IT platform issues in Benelux. Cost-saving measures and efficiency initiatives are underway, with leverage expected to normalize over the next 4–6 quarters.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 saw a 2% sales decline and significant margin compression due to weak demand and new contracts, with negative cash flow and no dividend proposed. Efficiency measures and IT upgrades are expected to yield SEK 150–200 million in annual savings by 2025–2026.
-
Sales declined 3.5% year-over-year amid weak demand, but strong working capital management improved cash flow and reduced leverage. New public sector contracts and AI-enabled PC launches are expected to support gradual market recovery in 2024.
