CEO comments:

The market climate has remained tough, yet Inwido has managed to maintain stable earnings despite low volumes, an unfavorable sales mix and headwinds from a strong Swedish krona. We are achieving this without compromising on our margins or delivery precision, and are working actively on cost efficiency, portfolio optimization and value-based pricing. With a strengthened position and operational platform, as well as leverage in respect of investments made, we continue to execute on our strategic plan.

Over the quarter, net sales increased to SEK 2,440 million (2,423) and organic growth increased by 3 percent. Organic order intake in the market segment Consumer is positive, and adjusted for the record order received on the project side in the corresponding quarter last year, order intake as a whole is slightly higher in the quarter. The operating EBITA margin is unchanged, which is a positive trend compared to the previous quarter.

The market
Activity levels between Inwido’s various geographic areas are continuing to vary significantly. In Sweden, activity is higher and the market has developed positively. From a macro-economic perspective, things are also looking up, with lower taxes, lower inflation and interest rates, contributing to higher disposable income for Swedish consumers. Ireland is continuing to deliver stable results, while Denmark moved sideways during the quarter. The markets in Finland and the UK remain very challenging.

Our operations
Downsizing and structural changes implemented in both Finland and Business Area e-Commerce in the third quarter took full effect in the fourth quarter. The results of this are clearly visible in Business Area e-Commerce, which significantly improved its margin despite lower invoicing. We are continuing to implement cost efficiency measures in several business units due to the continued uncertainty and low visibility regarding the demand trend as a result of geopolitical turmoil and volatile markets.

Another positive in the quarter is the fact that, despite changes and efficiency measures in the business units, Inwido continues to be viewed as an attractive employer. The results of the annual employee satisfaction survey in 2025 were the best ever, with an index increasing to 77 percent, up 2 percentage points compared to the previous year, and an impressive 92 percent response rate. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all our employees who contribute every day with high commitment and hard work to make Inwido a unique workplace.

Acquisitions
The acquisition journey continues, now at an increased pace, and three strategic acquisitions were signed in the quarter with combined sales of approximately SEK 825 million. With Fast Frame and Victorian House Window Group, Inwido is expanding its presence in the UK with attractive growth opportunities. AJM Group, a leading player in Slovenia which also has sales in Austria and Switzerland, is providing Inwido with access to a completely new market. The revenues from the latter two acquisitions will be recognized as of the first quarter of 2026, but Victorian House Window Group is already having an impact on indebtedness and return on operating capital. RM Snickerier and Fast Frame have been successfully integrated and already contribute to the Group’s profitability.

Activity within M&A is at a high level and Inwido is viewed as an attractive buyer. At the same time, we are continuing to be selective in our process, focusing on profitable, market-leading companies.

Sustainability
During the year, Inwido’s greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 21 percent for scope 1, 2 and 3, compared to the base year 2022. An important contributory factor is the positive cooperation with several of Inwido’s suppliers. A workplace without lost time accidents is a key sustainability indicator within the Group. At the end of December, the Kuusamo plant in north-eastern Finland reached 900 days with no accidents resulting in lost working hours, a result of efficient and well-established processes.

Outlook
Given the geopolitical situation it is difficult to assess how demand will develop, but we are well prepared for 2026. It is important to note that in 2025 we once again grew organically. The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is currently at a stage where the Member States have submitted their initial draft renovation plans. However, it is not yet clear exactly when and how these will be implemented.

Inwido is committed to its goal of achieving sales of SEK 20 billion by 2030. The most recent acquisitions, combined with our own organic growth initiatives and increased momentum regarding EPBD, are creating a solid foundation for the Group. In anticipation of higher demand, we are therefore continuing to optimize our operational platform and are actively pursuing acquisitions.
