CMD 2025 summary9 Sep, 2025

Strategic direction, technology shifts, and growth plans

  • Five core pillars—access, insights, visualize, connect, and diagnose—will remain central, with increased emphasis on ARR and AI integration within offerings.

  • Technology shifts will accelerate product releases and support growth beyond 2030, leveraging new platforms for cross-functional synergies.

  • Targets for 2030 include SEK 7.5 billion in net sales and a 25% EBITA margin, shifting focus from adjusted EBIT to EBITA as the main profitability metric.

  • Growth will be driven by winning new customers, expanding within the existing base, and prioritizing mergers and acquisitions.

  • Significant investments are planned in product portfolio updates to boost service content and increase annual recurring revenue (ARR).

Market position, competition, and operational focus

  • The market remains highly fragmented, with no single competitor matching the full portfolio; cross-selling is a key advantage.

  • Organic growth is targeted at around 8% annually, in line with market growth, with no expectation of significant cyclical rebounds.

  • Expansion into lower-priced, higher-volume segments is planned, but without sacrificing gross margins.

  • Operational efficiency improvements are prioritized to maintain solid profitability.

  • US tariffs' impact on gross margins has been offset by price increases.

M&A strategy and financial guidance

  • M&A focus is on profitable, well-managed companies with compatible cultures, ideally around SEK 300 million in revenue.

  • Multiples for acquisitions may rise for companies with recurring revenues, but the target remains around 9–10x EBITDA.

  • Half of future growth is expected from M&A, with organic margin potential slightly above 25%, but combined targets remain at 25% due to margin dilution from acquisitions.

  • Dividend payout will be 30-50% of adjusted EPS, with financial leverage targeted below 2.5x Net Debt/EBITDA.

  • Debt levels are being reduced monthly, aiming for 2.5x Net Debt/EBITDA by year-end.

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.
