CEO’s commentary
Today, Careium reaches more than half a million elderly with our welfare technology. This gives us a strong strategic position from which to further expand our offering of solutions that support people in need of care.
I am honoured and motivated to take on the role as Careium’s new CEO. It is encouraging to see initiatives that have been taken and our potential ahead.
Growth and recurring revenue
Let me begin by summarizing the second quarter of 2026. We delivered growth across all regions and net sales increased 24.3 percent to SEK 251.3 million following onboardings of new customers in the UK and Norway. Product sales increased by 33.5 percent to SEK 72.4 million, while service sales increased by 21.0 percent to SEK 178.9 million. Number of connections increased by 6.1 percent to 343,600.
Gross profit increased in all regions and if we exclude an installation project of SEK 5.5 million with limited margin, the gross margin was on par with last year. The project is connected to the Analogue to Digital Switch in the UK (A2D) that is supporting our product sales. The operating margin improved to 6.0 percent and the free cash flow to SEK 4.7 million.
Business model
The business model combines product and service sales. Our service contracts typically span several years and are entered into with creditworthy customers. This provides visibility and a solid foundation of recurring revenues, while also creating opportunities for continued growth.
Our business is often expanded through entry and onboarding activities, which initially impact margins but strengthen our position and create value over time.
Role and position
Our welfare technology reaches more than half a million people. We enable people to live independently in their own homes for longer, while remaining active, engaged and safe. By combining technology with human connection, we offer an end-to-end digital alarm chain that enables care providers and municipalities to provide efficient and trusted care for people in their homes.
Growth journey
I am looking forward to our growth journey. We will always strive for taking an active and constructive role in the transformation of care. We want to provide solutions that combine technology with the human touch. Through continuous improvement, close collaboration and a clear focus on usability, quality and reliability, we will continue to strive to be a trusted partner to our customers. Our ambition is clear: to build Careium into a modern, unified European health-tech company powered by scalable technology and human connection.
Final remarks
We improved sales and gross profit in all regions and have started valuable initiatives to grow and to scale as a European company.
I am inspired by Careium’s impact and potential. We have the passion, technology, reach and experience to make a difference in the lives of millions of people in need of care.
