Improved EBITA margin in a challenging market

Despite an increase in activity, with more enquiries being made and interesting discussions being conducted during the quarter, we continue to experience a challenging market with few signs of imminent change. We have, nevertheless, been able to improve the EBITA margin, mainly due to a significant increase in earnings in Denmark. Our order backlog remains stable. Cash flow remains weak due to work performed that has not yet been possible to invoice pursuant to contractual terms.

Net sales and EBITA

Our strategy of restrictive project selection, with a focus on margins, has resulted in lower sales. This is a deliberate prioritisation on our part to ensure a good balance between profitability and exposure to risk.

This strategy, along with efficient production, has helped us improve our margins and earnings, despite the current market situation and the weak economic conditions. However, this is not sufficiently satisfactory, and my ambition is to improve further through better cost control and better utilisation of our economies of scale. EBITA increased as a result of a significant improvement in earnings in Denmark, and the EBITA margin amounted to 5.3 (4.5) percent.

The order intake increased by 5 percent during the quarter, and the order backlog remained stable and of good quality as a result of our stringent project selection approach, combined with careful customer selection and risk assessment.

Our markets

The market situation in Sweden remains challenging but has major geographical differences. Sales decreased, and the project mix shifted towards a higher proportion of installation projects with a slightly lower margin. This had a negative impact on the EBITA margin. A review of the Swedish organisation is currently underway to clarify the governance structure and improve efficiency.

The trend in Denmark continues to be positive, despite the challenging market. Profitability improved significantly during the quarter, in line with my previously communicated expectations. I expect the profitability to continue to improve during the coming quarters as well, because we have better margins in new orders, and sales from old loss-making projects are gradually decreasing. I expect the EBITA margin for 2025 to end up close to 5 percent.

Sales decreased by 10 percent in Norway. Despite this decrease, the margin stabilised due to having a sales mix with a high proportion of service projects. The project market remains challenging, so it is important that we continue to adhere to our strategy of margin before volume.

In Finland, the market remains challenging and characterised by geographical differences. Profitability has decreased due to significantly lower sales and write downs in certain branches. I expect sales and profitability to increase in the Finnish operations during the coming quarters. The order backlog increased during the quarter, displaying a good margin. At the same time, organisational measures have been implemented to adapt the operations to the current local market situation.

Cash flow and net debt

The cash flow from operating activities and cash conversion decreased during the quarter, which resulted in an increase in our net debt. This is primarily due to increased accrued revenues in some large projects that will be invoiced on a ongoing basis in accordance with agreements.

Acquisitions

During the quarter, we completed one acquisition, which added annual sales of approximately SEK 45 million. The two companies that we have acquired so far in 2025 will add annual sales of approximately SEK 391 million to Bravida.

We are continuously involved in interesting acquisition discussions, but such transactions are currently taking longer to complete due to the market uncertainty. It is important for Bravida that the companies we acquire add value right from the start.

Sustainability

Our pursuit of sustainability is a long-term focus and includes being a safe and reliable employer. I am very proud that our continuous hard work to reduce workplace injuries is paying off. The LTIFR improved further during the quarter, to 5.0, which is better than our current target of 5.5. Our sustainability efforts also include reducing our climate footprint. The electrification of our vehicle fleet has reduced emissions from our vehicles by 15 percent over the last 12 months. Compared to 2020, emissions in relation to sales have decreased by no less than 42 percent.

Outlook

Looking ahead, my assessment is that market conditions will remain challenging well into 2026, although with geographical differences. During the last quarter, I have not experienced any change in the overall market situation. The external forecasts we receive point to an improved market, yet I do not see this being reflected in either our order intake or our order backlog. While demand for services is likely to remain stable, demand for installation is much more difficult to predict. There are geographical differences, and the demand for different types of installation work varies. I expect the installation volume to improve, due to an increase in the demand for renovations, infrastructure investments, electrification and defence installations. The current price pressure will probably continue until demand increases.

At Bravida, we continuously strive to adapt our costs and organisational structure to the current market situation and to utilise our economies of scale. Strict project and customer selection, as well as risk assessment and efficient production, are key aspects in terms of improving our profitability. We are making great progress and Bravida will develop to emerge from the current recession as a much stronger company than when we entered it.

Shareholder information

Bravida Holding AB's ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap list. The five largest shareholders were SEB Funds, Handelsbanken Funds, Swedbank Robur Funds, the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund (AP4) and Mawer Investment Management.

The share price on 30 September was SEK 91.75, which corresponds to a market capitalisation of SEK 18,770 million based on the number of ordinary shares. Total shareholder return over the past 12 months was 24.9 percent. The share capital totals SEK 4 million, divided among 206,356,598 shares, of which 204,578,271 are ordinary shares and 1,778,327 are class C shares, which are held by Bravida Holding AB. Ordinary shares entitle holders to one vote and a dividend payment, while class C shares entitle holders to one-tenth of a vote and no dividend.

Significant risks

Changes in market conditions, financial concerns and political decisions are the external factors that mainly affect demand for new construction of housing and commercial property, as well as investment from industry and the public sector. Demand for service and maintenance is less sensitive to economic fluctuations.

Operating risks relate to day-to-day operations such as tendering, price risks, capacity utilisation and revenue recognition. The management of these risks is part of Bravida's business process. Recognition over time is applied and is based on the degree of completion of each project and the expected date of completion.

A well-developed process for monitoring projects is essential for limiting the risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Bravida continually monitors the financial status of each project to ensure that individual project calculations are not exceeded.

The Group is also exposed to write down risks in fixed price contracts and various types of financial risk such as currency, interest rate and credit risks.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions with related parties outside the Group took place during the period.

Other events occurring during the period

Bravida signed a new loan agreement with Swedish Export Credit Corporation for SEK 750 million on 22 August. This loan replaced the previous loan of SEK 500 million.

Technical competence for the historic relocation of Kiruna Church

Bravida Sweden was commissioned by LKAB to be a turnkey contractor for all technology relating to the relocation of Kiruna Church, which was carried out in August.

The project, which is the largest Bravida has undertaken in a cultural heritage environment, began in the spring with the dismantling of the lighting, HVAC and pipework systems, as well as other technical installations. The installation of security systems, heating, plumbing, ventilation and electricity is scheduled for February 2026, and the aim is to renovate and reuse existing components to the greatest extent possible.

Operations in Denmark

Net sales and earnings

July–September

Net sales increased by 20 percent, to SEK 1,910 (1,595) million. Net service sales increased by 15 percent and net installation sales increased by 24 percent. The service area accounted for 45 (47) percent of total net sales. Organic growth was 23 percent, and currency effects had an impact of -3 percent.

EBITA increased significantly, to SEK 105 (-7) million, and the EBITA margin was 5.5 (-0.4) percent. The positive earnings trend is due to improved profitability in both the installation and service areas.

January–September

Reconciliation of key indicators, not defined under IFRS

The company presents certain financial measures in this quarterly report that are not defined under IFRS. The company considers that these indicators provide valuable additional information for investors and the company's management as they allow relevant trends to be assessed. Bravida's definitions of these indicators may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be regarded as complementary rather than replacing the measures defined under IFRS. See page 21 for definitions of key indicators.

Notes

NOTE 1. Accounting policies

This is a translation of the Swedish Interim Report of Bravida Holding AB. In the event of inconsistency between the English and the Swedish versions, the Swedish version shall prevail.

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards (IFRS) using IAS 34 Interim Reporting. The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding interim reports. The accounting policies applied are consistent with what is set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

The IASB has published supplements to standards that apply from 1 January 2025 or later. Such supplements have not had any material impact on Bravida's financial statements.

All amounts in this Interim Report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK), unless specified otherwise, and rounding differences may therefore occur.

Bravida has some defined-benefit pension plans, for which the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions, including pension indexation, are difficult to estimate with a reasonable degree of reliability. Reported pension obligations amount to SEK 266 million. The overall judgement made indicates that the effects are not significant with regard to assessing the Group's financial position and performance. Effects for defined benefit pensions that are recognised in other comprehensive income have therefore not been estimated in this Interim Report. The pension liability will be determined using an actuarial calculation in the end-of-year accounts latest as at 31 December 2025.

NOTE 3. Acquisition of operations

Bravida made the following acquisitions in January – September:

Acquired unit Country Technical area Art Date Percentage
of votes
Employees Estimated annual
sales, million SEK
Contub AB Sweden Industrial piping Company June 100% 38 346
TS Sähkötekniikka Oy Finland El Company July 100% 12 45

In Denmark, the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Viva Energi AS have been acquired in March, which now means 100 percent ownership of the company. In Finland, the remaining 20 percent of the shares in Savon Aurinkoenergia Oy have been acquired in June, which now means 100 percent ownership of the company.

Effects of acquisitions in 2025

Bravida normally uses an acquisition structure with a fixed purchase price and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is initially valued at the likely final amount, which for the year's acquisitions is SEK 81 million. The contingent considerations are due for payment within three to five years. The acquisitions are reported in aggregate form in the table below as individually they are not of sufficient size to justify separate recognition of each acquisition.

The transactions of the remaining shares in Viva Energi AS and Savon Aurinkoenergia Oy are reported in cash flow within financing activities, in accordance with IAS 7 Statement of cash flow, as the acquisitions relate to shares in companies that are already subsidiaries.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and operations are generally reported in the cash flow statement within investing activities. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and operations are reported net and include cash settled purchase prices for the year's acquisitions, cash settlement of debt-recorded purchase prices for previously made acquisitions and acquired cash and cash equivalents.

The acquisition analyses are preliminary.

Acquisitions after the end of the reporting period

In Norway, an acquisition was completed in October, Nitek AS with 17 employees and sales of approximately SEK 48 million. Bravida will take over as the new owner on 1 November 2025.

In Sweden, an acquisition was completed in October, Elpalko AB with 4 employees and sales of approximately SEK 15 million. Bravida will take over as the new owner on 3 November 2025.

  • * There are no material write downs of trade receivables.
  • ** Of the total consideration recognised as a liability in the period, SEK 81 million consists of contingent consideration.

NOTE 4. Seasonal variations

Bravida's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry and employees' annual holiday. Bravida usually has a lower level of activity in the third quarter as it is the main holiday period. The fourth quarter normally has the highest earnings because a lot of projects are completed during that period.

NOTE 5. Financial instruments, fair value

The fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities is not materially different from carrying amounts. No items other than the contingent consideration are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet.

Mattias Johansson CEO and Group President

The auditor's report on the review of the interim report

To the Board Of Directors of Bravida Holding AB (publ), Corporate ID number 556891-5390

Introduction

We have conducted a limited assurance review of the summary interim financial information (Interim Report) for Bravida Holding AB (publ) at 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period ended at such date. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited assurance review.

Scope and focus of the limited assurance review

We conducted our limited assurance review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A limited assurance review consists of making enquiries, primarily addressing persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other limited assurance procedures. The procedures performed in a limited assurance review vary in nature from, and are considerably less in scope than, an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a limited assurance review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the conclusion expressed based on a limited assurance review does not have the assurance of a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on the limited assurance procedures we have performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that this Interim Report has not been prepared for the Group, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
