CEO comments
The period was characterized by weak demand, particularly in our largest segment, warehousing and logistics. This development was primarily attributable to component shortages and sharply higher prices, combined with geopolitical uncertainty and elevated energy costs. In some cases, memory prices increased by as much as 15 times as suppliers prioritized products for AI and server applications. As a result, JLT, like other industry participants, raised prices for its computers. This contributed to more cautious investment decisions and longer sales cycles. At the same time, our growth segments-container ports and construction and mining equipment-remained stable during the first nine months of the year despite the challenging market conditions.
During the quarter, order intake amounted to SEK 15.2 million and net sales to SEK 16.9 million, both significantly below the corresponding period of the prior year. The lower sales volume weighed on earnings, and operating loss amounted to SEK 4.5 million. For the first nine months of the year, order intake totaled SEK 64.9 million, net sales SEK 75.1 million, and operating loss SEK 5.9 million.
At the same time, the gross margin continued to demonstrate resilience. For the first nine months of the year, it was 41.5 percent, compared with 38.0 percent in the corresponding period of 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by a higher share of revenue from service agreements and a favorable currency effect from the stronger U.S. dollar. However, due to the lower sales volume, gross profit was insufficient to cover the cost base.
Cash flow was positive at SEK 2.5 million for the quarter but amounted to negative SEK 7.2 million for the first nine months of the year. At the end of the period, the Group had SEK 9.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, an equity ratio of 54 percent, and no interest-bearing debt. Our financial position provides flexibility, but developments during the year underscore the importance of continued cost and capital discipline.
Our priorities are clear: increase sales activity, expand our partner network, broaden the business into additional application areas, and align the cost base with the lower level of activity. Market uncertainty persists and sales cycles remain long, but the underlying need for reliable, rugged computers is unchanged, particularly in our target segments.
We are working with determination to improve near-term performance while strengthening our long-term position. A competitive product portfolio, a strong gross margin, and an experienced team provide a solid foundation. In the near term, our priorities are to strengthen order intake, protect cash flow, and align the cost base ahead of the fourth quarter and next year.
