Executive summary
Bookings rose 8.5% year-over-year to MEUR 235.3 in H1 2026, with order backlog up 31.7% since year-end, signaling a new upcycle despite the Middle East conflict and volatile oil prices.
Sales declined 19.3% year-over-year to MEUR 204.7, but showed an 8% sequential increase in Q2 2026, ending eight quarters of stagnation, driven by recovery in the Precision Technology division.
Diversification strategy accelerated, with nearly 10% of bookings from new business areas such as geothermal energy, additive manufacturing, and high-performance materials, and significant investments in additive manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and U.K.
The business environment remains volatile due to the Middle East conflict, impacting logistics, sales, and customer programs, but the company is well-positioned for recovery.
Profitability declined year-over-year, with EBITDA margin at 11.8% (down from 17.5%) and profit after tax at MEUR 0.2 (H1 2025: MEUR 18.5).
