Fagerhult Group has now completed the strategic review that was announced during the spring. The strategic plan is based on three key priorities: reducing the operating costs of the business while strengthening the European core operations, continued innovation leadership combined with acceleration within fast-growing segments, and acting to a greater extent as a cohesive, performance-driven group with targeted investments and customer-focused decisions.
- Reducing costs and strengthening the European core operations; Europe is the group's most important market in terms of both scale and position. As part of this focus, the production structure and portfolio are being reviewed in order to increase competitiveness and profitability.
- Continued innovation leadership combined with acceleration within fast-growing segments; the innovation focus is maintained in parallel with deepening exposure to high-growth segments, such as data centers and defense, while existing positions within retail and smart lighting, among others, are further developed.
- Acting as a cohesive group with targeted investments and customer-focused decisions; to support the implementation, coordination within the group is strengthened through increased collaboration and a more unified and coordinated approach to the market.
Bodil Sonesson, CEO Fagerhult Group, comments:
"The strategic review has been carried out against the backdrop of a more challenging market and a sharply weakened earnings performance. The new framework gives us the financial flexibility required to navigate the current market situation and to capitalize on future growth opportunities."
Selected initiatives, including a cost savings program, are expected to deliver an earnings improvement of SEK 220 million. Implementations have been initiated and effects are expected to be realized gradually within six to twelve months.
The Group will provide updates on the implementation of these initiatives in upcoming quarterly reports.
