Hedin Mobility Group's Half-Year Report 2026: Steps in the right direction
Hedin Mobility Group AB (publ) today publishes its Half-Year Report for the period 1 January – 30 June 2026.
CEO Anders Hedin: “We close a first half-year with a weak result, largely shaped by the first two months of the year. Looking at the development since then, the business has gradually improved. In the second quarter we report operational earnings of MSEK 176, against MSEK -174 in the first quarter, as well as a positive operating profit.
The work to consolidate and streamline the Group is having the intended effect, and operating costs decreased by approximately 5% in the quarter. The distribution business showed a clear improvement in profitability.
Order intake for new vehicles has kept up a good pace throughout the half-year, and at the end of June the order backlog was 34 per cent higher than at the start of the year. Going forward, however, we need to increase the rate of deliveries and raise volumes.
Our focus remains on what we can control and on improving earnings step by step. Although we are not there yet, the second quarter shows that our efforts are having an effect.
