Interim report Q3 2025
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.

CEO comments on performance of continuing operations in the third quarter
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.
The business area's sales and EBITA were entirely in line with the year-earlier period. It was gratifying to note that the Product Solutions segment increased its sales by 3% organically and its EBITA by 17% in the quarter. Order intake also increased year-on-year, a sign of strength particularly from Diab and HL Display. Diab is adjusting its production to focus on emerging markets, while also reducing its tied-up capital.
Sales in the Industrial Services segment declined 2% organically in a generally weak market. EBITA decreased 21% due to the implementation of automation processes in the expanding Speed Group and a challenging biotech market for TFS HealthScience. Our consultancy companies also faced a weaker market, particularly in the automotive industry. The integration of Knightec Group was completed in September and generated significant savings as a result of synergies that exceeded the levels presented when the project commenced in September 2024. The results of these synergies will gradually have a positive impact on comparative figures until Q4 2026.
The business area reported lower sales in the quarter due to fewer add-on orders in Presis Infra, and Expin Group was negatively impacted by a weaker market in the railway sector in Finland. Aibel is continuing to grow and is on track for another record-breaking year.
Despite weaker sales, the business area reported improved earnings for the quarter, with the share of profit from Sentia making the largest contribution.
Following the streamlining carried out in the spring, the business area now consists of wholly owned infrastructure companies – Expin Group and Presis Infra – as well as the associates Sentia and Aibel.
Plantagen's remaining stores reported stable sales on par with the year-earlier period. Earnings improved significantly as a result of reduced costs following the reconstruction and higher gross margins. While Kvdbil continued to deliver a stable performance, its deliberate reduction in inventory levels had a negative impact on sales.
We are continuing to make improvements in the companies in parallel with our ambition to streamline Ratos's operations. The long-term aim is that Ratos will consist of companies that are or can become market leaders in their niche and region and thus have good conditions for profitable growth, strong margins and high returns. The improvements we are implementing are a prerequisite both for Ratos's streamlining and for our long-term development.
Overall, I am satisfied with our performance during the quarter, during which Ratos continued to deliver improved earnings thanks to its streamlining efforts in a weak market characterised by uncertainty.
Jonas Wiström, President and CEO
The performance in the third quarter was varied, with several positive signs such as a favourable trend in the defense industry. However, the market remained uncertain, with prolonged decision-making processes for capital-intensive projects. The third quarter is also seasonally weak for several businesses, resulting in a lower activity level. Overall, organic sales growth was negative and amounted to -3%.
Adjusted EBITA for continuing operations amounted to SEK 373m, with the share of profit from Sentia being one of the largest drivers compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for this, EBITA increased 10% as a result of a strong performance in the Product Solutions segment, particularly for HL Display and Diab, and significant improvements in Plantasjen. In Construction & Services, Sentia's profit share was the main profit driver, along with improvements in Expin Group, which were partly offset by lower earnings in Presis Infra due to fewer additional orders. In the Industrial Services segment, weak demand was noted for consulting activities, particularly in the automotive and biotech sectors. Group costs increased compared with the previous year, mainly due to a timing difference related to variable remuneration. For the period January to September, Group costs were in line with the previous year. Operating profit improved significantly due to stronger underlying earnings, the positive non-recurring effect related to Diab, and lower financial expenses due to falling market interest rates. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 11% (neg.).

Demand in the period was weak in most of Ratos's segments, impacted by continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. This was partly offset by robust trends in some areas, such as the defence industry. Organic net sales declined a total of 2% to SEK 14,231m. In the Industrial Services segment, the technology consultancy operations were negatively impacted by a lower number of working days. Store closures in Plantasjen contributed to a decrease of -5% compared with the year-earlier period. Around +2% was attributable to acquisitions and divestments, mainly in Industry. Unfavorable exchange rate effects due to a stronger Swedish krona (SEK) had a negative impact of -2% on net sales.
Adjusted EBITA increased 11% to SEK 1,586m, mainly driven by a strong performance in Construction & Services, but also by Consumer. Last year's restructuring work in Plantasjen resulted in a significantly more resilient and profitable business. Construction & Services' profitability improved due to operational improvements in Expin Group and the minority holding in Sentia, partly offset by lower earnings in Presis Infra. Earnings in Industrial Services were negatively impacted by a lower number of working days and weak demand in the biotech sector. However, Product Solutions' EBITA increased due to strong performances in HL Display and Diab. Net financial items amounted to SEK -418m, up 25%, mainly as a result of lower financing costs. The effective tax rate for the period was 15% (31)

The Industry business area consists of two segments: Industrial Services and Product Solutions. Industrial Services includes Aleido, Knightec Group, Speed Group and TFS HealthScience, while Product Solutions consists of Diab, HL Display, LEDiL and Oase Outdoors. For further information, refer to Note 5.
Organic net sales for the Industry business area were stable compared with the year-earlier period. The Product Solutions segment achieved organic sales growth, mainly driven by Diab and HL Display, both of which benefited from favourable demand in several industries and geographic regions. LEDiL continued to face a subdued market, and Oase Outdoors' delivered weaker sales than in the preceding year but reported a strong order intake for the coming year. In Industrial Services, demand for consulting activities remained subdued. The impact of the number of working days in the seasonally weak quarter was neutral. The automotive and biotech sectors were weak, while demand increased in the energy and defense industries. Overall, the Industrial Services segment posted negative organic sales growth.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 235m, in line with the year-earlier period. Product Solutions reported a 17% increase in adjusted EBITA, driven by a strong sales trend in Diab and HL Display and lower depreciation and amortization in Diab following the impairment of assets related to PET production. This was offset by a 21% decline in Industrial Services, mainly due to lower earnings in TFS HealthScience and Speed Group. Speed Group was impacted by several major automation projects, which are expected to contribute positively to profitability next year. Knightec Group maintained its profitability as a result of integration-related cost synergies. Reported EBITA was positively impacted, primarily by a legal settlement of SEK 700m pertaining to Diab, although this was partly offset by asset impairment and restructuring costs of SEK 400m.
As a result of the legal settlement, Diab initiated capacity reductions in its PET production in several markets. TFS HealthScience and Aleido launched cost-saving programmes in response to uncertain market conditions. Knightec Group continued its integration process, with full cost synergies expected to be achieved by the end of 2026, and the majority of the savings expected to be realized in the first quarter of 2026.

The Construction & Services business area and segment consists of the companies Expin Group and Presis Infra as well as the associates Aibel and Sentia. airteam was divested in May 2025, and Sentia is reported as an associate as of 16 June 2025. See Note 5 for segment reporting.
For Presis Infra, the market conditions for infrastructure maintenance were generally stable during the quarter. As expected, the third quarter was seasonally weaker, with few or no major orders, although the order backlog at the end of the period was higher than in the year-earlier period. The year-on-year decrease in organic sales was mainly attributable to a lower number of add-on orders. In Expin Group, the Swedish electrification market remained positive, with several major projects in progress contributing to strong organic sales growth. The order backlog remained strong. Market conditions in Finland deteriorated further. Net sales decreased a total of 12% organically.
Adjusted EBITA increased 28% to SEK 172m, mainly due to the contribution from the share of profit in Sentia. Excluding this effect, adjusted EBITA decreased 16%, with Presis Infra accounting for the majority of the decline due to a lower share of higher-margin add-on orders in a seasonally weak quarter. Expin Group continued to deliver a stronger performance despite lower sales, reflecting the operational improvements implemented since last year. Excluding the effects of the minority holdings in Sentia and Aibel, the adjusted EBITA margin was 3.0% (4.7).
In Expin Group, the new Finnish management team initiated a number of operational improvement measures to ensure the company's profitability despite deteriorating market conditions.

The Consumer business area consists of KVD and Plantasjen. For further information, refer to the information on segment reporting in Note 5.
Consumer confidence was stable or slightly stronger in the quarter. While the volume of used vehicles increased slightly, this was offset by an unfavorable price trend, which had a negative impact on KVD's sales performance. The effect was further heightened by deliberately low inventory levels. Plantasjen performed in line with the year-earlier period on an organic basis, excluding the impact of a smaller store network. The business area's net sales decreased a total of 4% organically.
Adjusted EBITA for the business area improved considerably in the quarter, driven by savings from the reconstruction of Plantasjen and stronger gross margins in the operations. As a result of improved gross margins, KVD succeeded in maintaining its profitability despite lower sales. The reconstruction has made Plantasjen resilient and improved its ability to maintain profitability despite fluctuating demand. For the business area as a whole, the adjusted EBITA margin improved to 0.9%, compared with -4.8% in the year-earlier period.
Plantasjen launched several targeted sales campaigns in Sweden and Norway in order to drive growth and increase customer traffic over both the short and long term. The company is also reviewing its logistics management with the aim of strengthening the service level and increasing cost efficiency.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 868m (783). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -96m (-116). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -1,393m (-305). Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -622m (362).
The change in cash flow for the quarter was mainly attributable to repayments of external loans (SEK -1,140m, net). The arbitration in Diab had a positive impact of approximately SEK 700m on cash flow for the quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 1,652m (2,042) and was negatively impacted of an amount of approximately SEK 200m due to the composition dividend paid for Plantasjen and positively impacted of an amount of approximately SEK 700m by the arbitration in Diab. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -229m (-693). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -2,646m (-1,566). Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -1,223m (-216).
The change in cash flow for the period was mainly due to a change in working capital (SEK -592m) and lower investing activities (SEK +464m), mainly attributable to a lower number of add-on acquisitions compared with the year-earlier period and higher dividends to non-controlling interest (SEK -581m).
The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 891m (2,186 at 31 December 2024) and interest-bearing net debt excluding financial lease liabilities totalled SEK 3,613m (2,815 at 31 December 2024). Excluding financial lease liabilities, the Group's leverage at the end of the period amounted to 0.6x (1.3x at 31 December 2024). Adjusted leverage excluding finance leases at the end of the period amounted to 1.6x (1.2x at 31 December 2024) after capital gains and items affecting comparability. Ratos's remaining holding in Sentia, which amounts to 39.77% and was valued at SEK 2.5 billion at the end of the period, is not included in the calculation of leverage.
The Group's interest-bearing net debt including financial lease liabilities totalled SEK 7,099m (6,820 at 31 December 2024). The Group's leverage including financial lease liabilities at the end of the period amounted to 1.1x (1.9x at 31 December 2024). The total translation effect of currency tied to interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK -87m, of which SEK -1m related to liabilities to credit institutions and SEK -86m to financial lease liabilities.
At the end of the period, the Group's interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions amounted to SEK 4,237m (4,506 at 31 December 2024).
During the quarter, Ratos signed an agreement to refinance its existing revolving credit facility of SEK 3 billion with a maturity of 3+1+1 years. The new credit facility is sustainability-linked, with a clear connection to Ratos Group's established short- and long-term sustainability targets: a CO2 emissions reduction target and a gender equality target. The annual KPIs are linked to these targets, and the interest margin on the facility can be impacted positively or negatively, depending on whether the KPIs are met.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -109m (-185). Net interest income was SEK 58m lower than in the year-earlier period, mainly due to lower market interest rates.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -418m (-554). Net financial items for the year were negatively impacted by exchange rate movements of SEK 29m. Net interest income was SEK 117m lower than in the year-earlier period.
The tax expense for the Group's continuing operations amounted to SEK 52m (9) and profit before tax to SEK 497m (-210). The effective tax rate for the quarter was 11% (neg.) and was positively impacted by approximately 6% during the quarter as a result of shares of profit in associates.
The tax expense for the Group's continuing operations amounted to SEK 222m (157) and profit before tax to SEK 1,457m (789). The effective tax rate for the January– September period was 15% (31). Items affecting comparability in the January–September period of SEK +380m did not have any material impact on the Group's effective tax rate.
At 30 September 2025, Ratos's equity (attributable to owners of the parent) amounted to SEK 15,182m (12,270 at 31 December 2024), corresponding to SEK 46 per share outstanding (37 at 31 December 2024).
The parent company's operating loss amounted to SEK -135m (-127) for the January–September period. The loss before tax amounted to SEK -447m (-110) and was negatively impacted by an impairment of intra-group receivables of SEK -357m attributable to the completed reconstruction of Plantasjen. The impairment in the parent company did not impact the Group's earnings. Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company amounted to SEK 149m (246 at 31 December 2024).
The parent company has a related party relationship with its Group companies. For more information, refer to Note 28 in the 2024 Annual Report. No significant transactions were carried out with related parties during the year compared with those presented in the most recent Annual Report.
Earnings per share for the January–September period amounted to SEK 11.83 (1.47) before dilution and to SEK 11.70 (1.47) after dilution. Accordingly, earnings per share for continuing operations amounted to SEK 3.25 (0.50) before dilution and to SEK 3.23 (0.50) after dilution.
The closing price for Ratos's Class B shares on 30 September 2025 was SEK 36.86. The total return on Class B shares for the quarter amounted to 22.5%, compared with the performance for the SIX Return Index, which was 5.8%.
No new shares were issued during the January–September period. At 30 September 2025, the total number of shares and shares outstanding in Ratos (Class A and B shares) amounted to 327,385,688 and the number of votes to 108,911,923.
During the period, the parent company issued warrants and a convertible debenture in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 26 March 2025. In total, 375,000 warrants and 976,400 convertibles were issued.
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.

Ratos's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and associated interpretations (IFRIC), as endorsed by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and applicable provisions in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company also applies RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Amounts are presented in SEK million (SEKm) unless otherwise stated. Rounding may apply in tables and calculations, which means that the stipulated total amounts are not always an exact amount of the rounded amounts.
As of the second quarter of 2025, Ratos is reporting the Construction segment as a discontinued operation since airteam was divested in May 2025 and Sentia was listed in June 2025. In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the Construction segment's profit after tax is reported on a separate row in the income statement for 2024 and 2025. Following the listing of Sentia, Ratos's holding amounts to 39.77% and is thus recognised as an associate. The Construction & Services business area and segment consists of the companies Expin Group and Presis Infra as well as the associates Aibel and Sentia.
In all other respects, the reporting and measurement principles are unchanged compared with those applied in Ratos's 2024 Annual Report.
The new and revised IFRS standards which came into force in 2025 have not had any material effect on Ratos Group's financial statements.
Operations at Ratos Group include inherent risks attributable to both the parent company and companies in the business areas. These mainly comprise market, operational and transaction risks and can include both general risks, such as
external factors and macroeconomic development, as well as company and sector-specific risks.
The financial risks consist of liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and currency risk. There are a number of financial risks to which most of the companies are exposed, primarily related to loans, trade receivables, trade payables and derivative instruments. The risks to which the companies are exposed are managed by each individual company.
Ratos is exposed to financial risks, mainly in terms of value changes in the companies and liquidity risk. Ratos's future earnings development is dependent to a large extent on the success of the underlying companies, which in turn is dependent on, among other things, how successful each company's management group and board of directors are at developing the company and implementing value-adding measures.
