Significant events during the quarter

On 25 July, an arbitration award was issued in a dispute involving Diab as one of the parties. As a result of the award and in line with Ratos’s ongoing strategy, a decision was made to decrease the capacity in Diab’s PET production and to impair certain assets directly linked to the dispute. Overall, this resulted in a positive outcome of SEK +300m for Diab.

“The quarter was characterised by generally subdued demand as a result of geopolitical uncertainty, trade policies, and the business cycle. For Ratos, this resulted in lower sales in the quarter. At the same time, we saw that the measures we have taken to improve cost control, operational efficiency and optimisation of our companies’ production resources have yielded results. Both EBITA and the operating margin improved further during the quarter. Organic net sales decreased by just over 3%, primarily due to a decline in Construction & Services.”
Jonas Wiström, President & CEO, Ratos
