Executive summary

  • Net sales declined 13–14% year-over-year to MSEK 955, with minimal FX impact; both engines and hydraulics divisions saw similar declines and reduced customer demand.

  • Electric product sales grew 12.7% year-over-year, now representing 23% of group sales, up from 18% last year.

  • Market conditions remain challenging, especially in agriculture and construction, which together account for about 50% of sales.

  • Strategic focus on electrification, with significant investments in India and the US, and major new business wins in Alfdex/Alstex joint venture totaling MSEK 1,300.

  • Strong growth in electric product prototype shipments, up 114% year-over-year.

Financial highlights

  • Operating income before items affecting comparability was MSEK 124 (margin 13%), but a MSEK 100 warranty provision reduced reported operating income to MSEK 24 (margin 2.5%).

  • Cash flow from operations reached MSEK 103, with a cash conversion ratio of 137% for the quarter.

  • Book-to-bill ratio at quarter-end was 89%, indicating further sales weakness expected.

Outlook and guidance

  • Q3 2024 net sales expected to be slightly weaker than Q2, with continued weak demand in end markets.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
