Q4 2025 earnings summary19 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Net sales for Q4 2025 decreased by 10% to 327.1 MSEK, mainly due to lower raw material prices and currency effects; full-year net sales increased by 3% to 1,433.0 MSEK, driven by acquisitions despite organic decline.

  • Volumes remained stable and market share was unchanged, despite negative currency effects and lower raw material prices.

  • Gross margins improved in Q4 and for the full year, supported by a higher share of high-optical products and operational improvements.

  • Acquisition of Aikolon Oy completed in October 2025, fully financed with own funds, strengthening high-optical product capabilities; reconstruction process concluded.

  • Board proposes a dividend of 1.60 SEK per share, representing 38% of net profit.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
