  • Earnings per share amounted to SEK -1.08 (-0.35)

“Net sales in the first quarter decreased by 15 percent to SEK 1,105 M (1,305) attributable to a shift in demand, where the construction segment increased and the industrial segment declined, combined with lower material prices and the closure of the Baltic operations that began at the end of the first quarter of the previous year. A rationalization program is being developed, which is expected to lower costs by about SEK 20 M in 2025 and with a full-year effect of about SEK 50 M in 2026.”

Peter Andersson, President and CEO
