Comments from our CEO, Magnus Andersson:
"2026 begins with weaker business performance, similar to the fourth quarter of 2025. Total sales are lower than in the same quarter the previous year, driven by the transition in North America from project sales to the start-up of component sales for new business. In Europe, work continues on realising synergies with acquired units, and in Asia the focus is on growth, automation and expansion. Towards the end of the quarter, we began to see the effects of the war in the Middle East and supply chain disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices. We are seeing effects primarily in the form of price increases for raw materials, which we are actively working with our customers to manage."
