January–June 2026 compared with January–June 2025 Net sales declined 6% to SEK 9,893m (10,541). The lower net sales were mainly driven by lower selling prices and negative exchange rate effects, which were offset by higher delivery volumes. EBITDA amounted to SEK 2,410m (3,684). The decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling prices, negative exchange rate effects and higher raw material costs.
