Stable underlying business and improved efficiency
"Our operations continued to deliver a stable performance during the quarter, although reported growth was impacted by the renewal cycle for Autodesk agreements. We are improving our profitability across several areas of the Group and have now carried out an efficiency program in Symetri to strengthen our focus on new sales and realize synergies. With strong customer relationships, growing AI-related opportunities, and a clear acquisition agenda, Addnode Group is well positioned for continued profitable growth."
Johan Andersson
President and CEO
Second quarter April 1 - June 30, 2026
- Net sales amounted to SEK 1,449 m (1,457). Organic growth was -11 percent. Currency effects had an impact of SEK -7 m (-69) on net sales.
