Soltech Energy Sweden (publ) interim report for the period April-June 2026
INCREASED NET SALES AND CONTINUED RESTRUCTURING IN THE QUARTER
COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
The second quarter was, like the first, characterized by intensive change and restructuring work within the Soltech Group. During the quarter, the work has clearly and purposefully focused on improving cash flow, strengthening profitability and establishing a long-term stable platform for future growth. As a result of the measures taken, we are now seeing profitability improvements in the underlying business, not least in roofing, electrical engineering and façade. We also see that the Group's net sales increased by 28 percent in the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year, which is positive. However, restructuring costs at Group level had a negative impact on earnings in the quarter.
While it is gratifying to see that the strategic measures are gradually starting to yield results, the work continues at an unchanged pace. During the quarter, we implemented profitability-driving measures, cost savings and organisational changes. Great emphasis has also been placed on carefully selecting which projects we take on to ensure that we get the right business with the right profitability.
Nordic expansion, façade contracts and framework agreements
During the quarter, Soltech's companies both won strategically important projects and nurtured long-term customer relationships. One large new project in the façade business area is Essa Glas & Aluminium's façade project for Zengun and the real estate company Wallenstam. Sergelskrapan in central Stockholm is to be renovated and Essa has been commissioned to design, manufacture and install a bronze shimmering aluminium façade totalling 5,240 sqm that will shape the property's exterior. A project that is a feather in our cap and we are proud to be able to contribute to shaping this historical building and the cityscape around Sergels torg.
Soltech Energy Solutions' Nordic expansion has also continued in the second quarter through several major agreements. Among other things, through the operation and maintenance agreement in Denmark, where the company is now responsible for the ongoing operation, optimization and technical monitoring of two battery parks of as much as 132 MWh for Copenhagen Energy. Soltech has also entered the Finnish and Norwegian markets by signing agreements for the design and construction of several major battery parks.
In the Ceiling and Electrical Engineering business area, several major framework agreements were signed during the quarter. Among other things, Soltech will help Svenska Bostäder with the expansion of charging infrastructure and the roofing company NP Gruppen will in turn assist the real estate company SISAB with extensive roofing contracts and roof maintenance for several years to come. The fact that the Soltech Group's various business areas continue to sign long-term framework agreements testifies to a great deal of confidence in the companies' long-term perspective, quality and delivery capacity.
The work continues at an unchanged pace
Despite the fact that a lot of work remains to be done, I look upon the future with confidence. We are fully focused on continuing to create stability, strengthen the Group's financial position, improve profitability and establish a long-term stable platform for future growth.
