Outlook and guidance

• FY2026 sales growth outlook was cut to ~10% at constant FX from 20%–25%; EBIT margin guidance fell to ~7% from 8%–9%, excluding potential Q4 restructuring costs.

• Germany cost reductions affect ~100 employees and carry SEK 75m in structural costs; annual savings are estimated at SEK 100m, with full run rate after mid-2027.

• Up to 1,000 Q4 handovers are expected to support cash flow and reduce net debt; completion timing remains a cash-conversion dependency.

• Starts guidance remained 3,500–4,000; the 2027 start run rate is expected to increase from 2,973 over the latest 12 months, though the level remains uncertain.

• Existing projects and signed contracts cover a large portion of guidance; German investor transactions and ongoing-project sales remain key variables.
