Important steps towards a profitable core business
Wästbygg Gruppen AB (publ) presents its interim report for January-March 2025.
"During the first six months, we had an order intake of just over SEK 1.7 billion, and the business continues to report an underlying positive operating result. I am also very pleased with the agreement worth approximately SEK 900 million that was signed with Klövern after the balance sheet date, under which they acquire a project development portfolio consisting of land allocations and properties. The agreement also includes five construction contracts, which will be included in the order intake for the third quarter. With this agreement and the other measures we have implemented, we have taken important steps in our efforts to restore profitability in line with our targets.", says Patrik Mellgren, CEO Wästbygg Group.
