Outlook and guidance
FY 2026 targets remain unchanged: stable organic core operations sales YoY and EBITDA before ACI and IAC of SEK 1.0bn–1.4bn.
2025–2028 ambition remains average stable organic core operations sales and a double-digit EBITDA margin in 2028, before ACI and IAC.
Allente full run-rate annual cash cost synergies are expected to reach SEK 300m–400m from 1 January 2027; integration cash costs are expected at SEK 270m–330m.
FY CapEx is expected at ~SEK 150m, cash taxes at ~SEK 200m and annual cash interest at ~SEK 450m.
FY working-capital ambition is neutral to positive excluding the non-core cash drag; existing and pipeline agreements point to improved other-sales performance in Q4.
