" During the fourth quarter, we continued our efforts to strengthen the financial position of our portfolio companies and enhance their readiness for the next phase. Measures have been implemented within the portfolio to reduce leverage and increase financial flexibility, while preparations for potential public listings have progressed. The year has been characterized by a more challenging macroeconomic environment; however, the core operations have demonstrated resilience. As market conditions gradually improve, we believe the portfolio companies are well positioned to take the next step." - Mikael Ericson, CEO
