During the second quarter of 2025, the Hexatronic Group's preliminary net sales amounted to SEK 1,906 million (2,024) and EBITA amounted to approximately SEK 169 million (222).

Sales and EBITA in the Fiber Solutions business area were lower than expected, due to weaker demand for FTTH equipment and price pressure accentuated by overcapacity in the industry. A performance improvement program has been initiated within Fiber Solutions that will include both cost savings and investments in selective growth areas.

"Since I joined Hexatronic in March, I have focused on getting to know our business and customers. It has become clear that we have a compelling opportunity to further accelerate growth in the Data Center and Harsh Environment business areas. However, Fiber Solutions needs to improve margins and pursue growth beyond the FTTH segment. Therefore, we are launching a performance improvement program in Fiber Solutions where we see opportunities to strengthen productivity and generate growth by shifting resources to adjacent growth areas. We will present the details of this program as part of an Investor Update in September", said Rikard Fröberg, CEO of Hexatronic Group.

"On a positive side, I am delighted that the Data Center business area continues to show strong momentum and all-time high results in Q2. Harsh Environment also delivered a record quarter and has developed steadily with higher sequential sales and improved profitability in the quarter, in line with our expectations. These two business areas have grown rapidly in importance and account for 59 percent of the Group’s EBITA, before group eliminations, in the quarter", said Rikard Fröberg.

The Group's net debt, excluding IFRS 16, amounted to approximately 1.9x EBITDA at the end of the second quarter of 2025, which is unchanged from the previous quarter.
