Interim report Q2 2025

“The first half-year was characterised by trade conflicts and geopolitical unrest, which impacted half-year EBITA through exchange rate and short-term tariff effects. Adjusted for these, EBITA was in line with last year. Our companies have continued to focus on efficiency, cost control and sales initiatives with the aim of driving organic growth, albeit organic EBITA growth remained somewhat negative in the first six months.

The EBITA margin increased to 10 percent (9.7) in the quarter, attributable to improved profitability in the Services business area and lower cost for Group operations. Furthermore, we refinanced our bond maturing in 2027 by issuing a new bond maturing in 2029 at a considerably lower interest rate, which lowers our interest expenses by about SEK 20 million per quarter”, says Christer Hansson, CEO of Storskogen.
