Net sales in the first quarter were SEK 123.0 million (129.4) and operating profit amounted to SEK 4.4 million (15.1). This corresponds to an operating margin of 3.6 percent.
"The first quarter was mainly affected by the planned expansion of the organisation to support future assignments, along with continued low volumes in the UK operations. As a result, the operating margin is lower than normal. However, as previously communicated, expanding and adapting the organisation are necessary steps to ensure continued growth and to reach our targets for 2027."
Railcare sets its sights on established targets Railcare is steadily progressing towards its 2027 targets, with the planned expansion of the organisation to support future assignments now in full swing. This applies not only to the Transport segment, but also to the Contracting and Technology segments, where we are seeing increased demand. As the organisation is being strengthened to support continued growth, the margin is lower than normal for a first quarter. However, this is a necessary step toward achieving our longterm targets. We anticipate a gradual improvement in the margin moving forward and see strong prospects for achieving our financial targets.
We have faced significant challenges in our UK operations for an extended period. We have implemented substantial cost-saving measures, relocated resources to Sweden, and adjusted our working methods in the hope of higher volumes, but have not seen a return to pre-pandemic levels.
It is frustrating that volumes remain so low despite the substantial underlying maintenance needs. Our efficient machines also enable more maintenance for "Expanding and adapting the organisation are necessary steps to ensure continued growth."
the money, but the allocated funds are not being used effectively enough, and too little is ultimately spent on actual track work. We are now in a position where we are exploring alternative opportunities for the machines to increase their utilisation, either in the UK or in other markets.
Our increased focus on external machine sales has yielded results, as Norway's Baneservice placed an order in mid-February for a new Railvac valued at SEK 30 million. This is the fourth Railvac machine acquired by Baneservice. The diesel-powered machine will be manufactured at the Skelleftehamn workshop and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, when revenue recognition will also occur. The Railvac is primarily used for ballast replacement and cable handling on the railway. The vacuum technology is both efficient and gentle on the infrastructure.
The acquisition of the company that owns the property in Långsele, Y-ettan AB, was completed as planned, with the transfer completed on 1 April.
"Investments in the railway sector are increasing, and we are well positioned to capitalise on these new business opportunities in the years ahead."
The locomotive workshop is highly regarded by customers for its efficient services and offers strong future potential due to its strategic location. Sweden's railway network is primarily built in a north–south direction, but increased defence preparedness and NATO membership place high demands on a robust and reliable railway infrastructure in the east–west direction as well. Långsele is a railway junction on the Northern Main Line (Norra Stambanan) and the Ådalen Line (Ådalsbanan), with additional connections via cross lines to the Bothnia Line (Botniabanan) and the Inland Line (Inlandsbanan). This makes it a strategically important location, particularly from a defence preparedness perspective.
We are continuing our efforts to analyse needs and future investments in the locomotive workshop. In parallel, work is underway to develop a detailed development plan. This process is expected to continue throughout 2025.
Railcare looks ahead despite global uncertainty
Developments in the world around us have certainly not moved in the right direction in recent years. The pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and—perhaps most notably—the turbulence following the U.S. election have all impacted global security and the world economy in ways that have been difficult to foresee. It is precisely the difficulty in assessing how developments will unfold that creates the greatest uncertainty. At present, we are not seeing any significant negative impact on Railcare. The security situation and NATO membership have, if anything, led to increased focus on the importance of a robust and reliable railway infrastructure. I would argue that railway infrastructure has never been as widely discussed as it is today. As the agile and solution-oriented company we are, there are still strong business opportunities even in times like these. Investments in the railway sector are increasing, and we are well positioned to capitalise on these new business opportunities in the years ahead.
Starting from 2025, there will be a change in segment reporting. Contracting Sweden and Contracting Abroad will be reported together under the Contracting seg ment. Transport Scandinavia will be reported under the Transport segment. The locomotive workshop in Långsele, previously reported under the Transport seg ment, will be reported under the Technology segment (previously Machines & Technology) from 2025 on wards. All comparative figures have been recalculated.
Net sales for the first quarter 2025 decreased by 4.9 percent to SEK 123.0 million (129.4) compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The Transport seg ment is experiencing sales growth, driven in part by the positive contribution of new standby contracts. Sales in the Contracting segment decreased by SEK 16.7 percent year-on-year. This is largely due to reduced volumes of contracting assignments in the UK. Contracting assignments in Sweden and the relining operations maintained strong capacity utilization. Net sales in the Technology segment decreased by 37.8 percent in year-on-year terms. The lower sales were primarily ex plained by a decrease in intra-Group rentals of locomo tives and machinery.

Operating expenses for the first quarter 2025 increased by 6.7 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
The increase in costs is mainly attributable to the Transport segment and is driven by the launch of new standby contracts, as well as investments in personnel and equipment to prepare the organisation for upcoming standby contracts and continued growth.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the first quarter 2025 was lower than the corresponding period in the previous year, totalling SEK 4.4 million (15.1). Operating margin amounted to 3.6 percent against 11.6 percent in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The lower operating margin was largely due to increased costs associated with meeting higher demand for the Group's services, as well as the low volume of contracting assignments in the UK.
Profit for the first quarter 2025 totalled SEK 4.5 million (4.7).
Interest expenses were slightly higher than in the same period last year. However, a stronger SEK generated a significant positive currency effect for the Group, as certain locomotives are leased in EUR.
Cash flow for the first quarter of the year was SEK -38.0 million (-25.9). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 2.4 million (12.6), affected by increased tax payments and the amortisation of lease liabilities.
Investments during the quarter totalled SEK 10.6 million (16.3). Investments were financed with internally-generated funds which had a negative impact on cash flow.
At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 29.0 percent, compared to 31.5 percent on 31 March 2024.

Railcare's contracting operations carry out railway maintenance projects in both Sweden and the UK. Using our proprietary vacuum and ballast machines, we perform various types of railway track maintenance, such as cable location, cable laying, reballasting and snow clearing.
Another part of the contracting business specialises in culvert renovations focused on relining measures beneath railways and roads and at industrial sites, as well as permit inspections of culverts. The relining is carried out without disrupting rail traffic.
Net sales in the Contracting segment in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to SEK 42.5 million (51.0), a decrease of 16.7 percent on the corresponding period in the previous year. The sales decrease in the first quarter was largely due to reduced volumes of contracting assignments in the UK.
In Sweden, capacity utilisation has been strong, but the nature of the assignments has led to a slight decline in both sales and margin. Assignment volumes in the Relining operations were slightly higher than in the previous year.
Operating profit decreased compared to the preceding year and amounted to SEK -5.1 million (2.6).
The low volume of contracting assignments in the UK has resulted in excess capacity within the segment, which is putting pressure on profit.

In the Transport operations, Railcare offers railway transport using proprietary locomotives and drivers. The company provides freight, contracting and specialist transport, with transportation licenses in Sweden and Norway.
Railcare transports ore on behalf of the mining industry using round trips. For larger maintenance projects, Railcare provides traction for track replacement trains as well as transport of sleepers and ballast. The company also provides clearance locomotives on standby under assignment from the Swedish Transport Administration.
Net sales in the Transport segment increased by 11.5 percent in the first quarter of 2025, compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year and amounted to SEK 77.5 million (68.6). Operating profit was slightly lower in year-on-year terms and amounted to SEK 9.3 million (10.5).
The increase in sales is attributable to the standby contracts initiated at the turn of the year, as well as a higher volume of transport assignments.
Operating profit is still impacted by increased costs from adapting the business to new assignments and preparing for continued growth over the coming years. The cost increase was primarily related to personnel expenses and the machine fleet. The new assignments relating to contingency clearance locomotives started at the beginning of the year in Nässjö and Älmhult, with contingency operations starting in Ånge and Gävle in May 2025, and finally in Hallsberg in January 2026.

The segments' net sales also include intra-Group sales between segments. See Note 3 for sales between segments.
The Technology business includes Railcare's workshops, which build, convert, further develop, and sell machines and services to the railway industry. Railcare's powerful vacuum technology is the foundation of our signature yellow maintenance machines – which have now been further developed to operate solely on electric and battery power.
In the locomotive segment, Railcare specialises in life extension, modernisation, and the installation of traffic control systems. The workshops also carry out overhauls, repairs, servicing, and ongoing maintenance on locomotives, machines, and wagons.
Net sales in the Technology segment decreased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to SEK 29.4 million (40.5). Operating profit was also slightly lower yearon-year, amounting to SEK -0.8 million (2.6). The lower sales were primarily explained by a decrease in intra-Group leasing of locomotives and machinery. The volume of spare parts sales also declined, which had a negative impact on operating profit.
The workshop in Skelleftehamn is currently constructing the third maintenance machine with electric and battery power, including a pantograph that enables simultaneous operation and battery charging. Construction of the Railvac machine sold to Baneservice has also begun.
During the quarter, the locomotive workshop in Långsele carried out a complete renovation of a diesel locomotive for TM Togdrift, as well as overhauls and the installation of ATC and remote control systems for Grenland Rail.

MISCELLANEOUS
During Q4 2024, the company adjusted to the IFRS Interpretation Committee's clarification regarding identifiable assets under IFRS 16. The adjustment meant that Railcare reclassified certain locomotive lease contracts from capacity rent to leasing. The adjustment has been applied retroactively and calculated from the start dates of the contracts. The first contracts commenced in 2022. The following tables show the changes resulting from the adjustment for 2024.
All adjustments are attributable to the Transport segment.
1) In the Income Statement, the cost of leasing is reallocated to depreciation and interest expenses. Under the previous principles, the leasing cost was included in the 'Raw materials and consumables' item, meaning that this item decreases while depreciation costs increase. This results in an overall increase in operating profit (EBIT). The adjustment results in an increase in financing costs due to interest expenses on the lease liability. Some of the lease agreements are denominated in EUR, so any fluctuations in the EUR exchange rate also impact net financial items.
2) In the Balance Sheet, the contracts are recognized as an asset and depreciated over the contract term. The corresponding value is also recognized as a liability, which is amortized over the contract term. The interest is expensed. As some of the contracts are denominated in EUR, the liability is also recognized in EUR and is converted at the exchange rate as of the Balance Sheet date.
3) In the Cash Flow Statement, cash flow from operating activities increases, while cash flow from financing activities decreases.
