MacGregor CEO Jonas Gustavsson:
"In the fourth quarter of 2025, our orders received increased by 32 percent, totalling EUR 235.8 million. The increase was driven by healthy activity in the container vessel segment, which supported higher order intake in our Merchant business. Our profitability continued to be solid as we delivered adjusted EBIT of EUR 20.5 million corresponding to a 10.3 percent margin.
The full year 2025 performance was strong. We reached a significant increase in our profitability, as adjusted EBIT increased by 33 percent to EUR 98.5 million, representing 11.9 percent of sales. The profit expansion was supported by higher sales, favourable mix, effective cost management and structured execution of our projects. Our order book grew 2 percent and amounted to EUR 1,060 million at the end of the year, providing solid visibility for the years ahead.
Overall, 2025 was a great year for MacGregor. During the year, the company was separated from Hiab (formerly Cargotec), Triton Partners were welcomed as the new owner, MacGregor was established as a standalone company, and its new strategy was defined and launched, while we were delivering solid and improved business performance in a complex and dynamic market environment.
We have entered 2026 with confidence and a continued focus on executing our ambitious Full Ahead strategy with the aim of transforming MacGregor into a service and product-driven, high-performing company with strong resilience."
