Comments from the CEO Linda Pålsson: 

"In the second quarter, we completed our restructuring agenda to optimize our portfolio and adjust capacity. Our strategy execution progressed according to plan, and we are seeing positive developments as we continue to improve the order backlog and the utilization rate. At the same time, this progress is not yet reflected in our financial results. Net sales declined in the quarter while the EBITA margin was in line with last year. With a period of extensive restructuring now behind us, we are shifting focus to organic growth in order to capture profitability uplift and deliver on our 2028 targets."
