Net profit reached MSEK 67 versus MSEK 31; operating cash flow rose to MSEK 130 from MSEK 112.
Gross margin remained just over 50%; price increases offset higher raw-material, energy, freight and CBAM-related costs.

Targets remain EBIT of MSEK 500, EBIT margin above 10% and profit over working capital of 45%; rolling-12-month EBIT was ~SEK 430m.
Management expects gradual market recovery, prioritizes profit expansion over revenue growth, and continues to pursue profitable organic and acquisition-led growth.
Price adjustments are expected to add some percentage points to organic growth in the coming quarter; gross margin is expected to remain near current levels.
PPE & Utilities will focus on improving existing businesses and margins; material improvement is expected to take several quarters, with one more quarter of restructuring costs.
