Alberto Zanata, President and CEO:
"Improved profitability driven by Europe
Sales of Food & Beverage increased by 1.1% organically. Sales were particularly strong in Europe, where most countries grew. In the US, sales declined. After a strong first half of the year in the US, the second half of the year showed a softening market. The decline in APAC-MEA was mainly due to Japan. EBITA margin improved compared to last year. Order intake in Europe was higher than last year while it was lower in APAC-MEA and the US.
Improved margin in Laundry
During the quarter, we announced the investment in Mimbly, a Swedish startup cleantech company focused on microplastic filtration and water saving. This investment should further strengthen our position as the sustainability leader in Laundry.
Strengthened position in the US through the acquisition of Royal Range assets
The year has been characterized by continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, which created significant headwinds - mainly from currency, but also from direct and indirect effects of tariffs. In total this equals a net negative impact of about one percentage point in margin. Despite this, we were able to improve the underlying profitability during the year and organically grow the business somewhat. This once again demonstrates the resilience of our business.
The 2025 development should be viewed alongside the major transformational projects underway. We have continued investing in the new laundry platform and in horizontal cooking, both of which will be launched in 2026. We are also implementing activities to enhance our sales capabilities. In addition, the efficiency program launched in September, which is progressing according to plan, is expected to generate significant savings during 2026 and 2027. This means that we have solid building blocks in place to improve our performance going forward."
