Continued growth for the Group and first quarter with profitability for the Professional division
CTEK continued to grow profitability in the first quarter of the year. The Consumer division reported another strong quarter, thereby supporting the Group's growth. It was also gratifying that the Professional division could report a positive EBITDA margin for the first time.
The first quarter of the year saw continued growth of 5 percent for the Group, and was the fourth consecutive quarter of organic growth. The gross margin was a strong 56.4 percent (54.0), at the same time as the adjusted EBITA margin declined by 0.6 percentage points to 9.1 percent (9.7). This was due to negative unrealised currency effects linked to the strengthening of the SEK against the EUR.
The debt/equity ratio fell to 1.9x (2.2), still well below the company's financial target. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 8 million (45). However, we see a long-term positive trend and have therefore amortized our loan by an extra SEK 25 million during the quarter.
The favourable trend of continuous profitable growth for the Consumer division, which primarily markets and sells Low Voltage products globally, continued in the first quarter of the year.
The division grew by 7 percent organically, while maintaining a stable high EBITDA margin. The growth was primarily attributable to a continued increase in online sales and good growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies chargers to workshops.
In North America, we saw continued good growth despite the uncertain and difficult-to-assess market situation. CTEK has previously moved the majority of its production from China to Malaysia and it is my assessment, at the time of writing, that the imposed tariffs will be competition-neutral since the majority of players in the industry have production in Asia.
I am gratified that the Professional division, which sells both EVSE and customised Low Voltage products, could report a positive EBITDA margin of 6.0 percent (-4.6) in the first quarter. The positive EBITDA margin was partly the effect of higher sales, but equally important was streamlining the organisation, resulting in a lower cost base.
Our EVSE business in destination charging remained stable, while the rollout of the new Chargestorm Connected 3 EV charger led to a stronger margin. The focus for 2025 is to continue deliveries of Chargestorm Connected 3 to the UK and then to Germany.

In the customised Low Voltage products segment ("Client Brand"), we saw strong growth during the quarter, largely driven by deliveries to one of Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturers. This was an agreement signed in the second half of 2024 and that has already generated significant volumes.
As previously communicated, during my initial time as CEO at CTEK, I worked together with management to develop a three-phase strategic plan to return the company to profitable growth. We completed the first phase (stability) during the early part of 2024 and we have now made significant progress in the second phase (profitability). We will present more detailed information on what the third phase (profitable growth) will entail for the company at a capital markets day that will be held on 22 May in Stockholm.
To summarise, we are continuing to follow our strategic plan and it is with confidence that I look forward to a successful 2025.
President and CEO
CTEK is the largest global supplier of premium low-voltage chargers and a leading supplier of chargers, load balancing systems, backend solutions and EVSE products. The company is characterised by a strong innovation culture and works continuously to improve and develop new products to suit customer needs.
CTEK was founded in Vikmanshyttan, Sweden, in 1997 and has sales in more than 70 countries. With a history of innovation and technology leadership, the Company proactively meets new customer needs by continuously developing its product offering and business. Through its technology leadership, CTEK has established strong, long-standing customer relationships with over 50 of the world's most prestigious vehicle manufacturers. In addition to vehicle manufacturers, CTEK offers products to, among others, vehicle workshops, distributors, retailers, charge point operators, property owners and private individuals.
CTEK's vision is to be the leader in vehicle charging solutions.
To realise its vision, CTEK will continue to develop, market and sell innovative, safe, easy-to-install and easy-to-use battery charging products for all types of vehicles, as well as complete charging solutions for electric vehicles.
The Board has set the following financial targets and dividend policy:
CTEK's target is to achieve net sales of SEK 2 billion on an annual basis in the medium term, with the majority of sales expected to be electric vehicle chargers and accessories.
CTEK's target is to achieve an adjusted EBITA margin of 20 percent in the medium term.
Net debt must be less than 3.0x adjusted EBITDA on a rolling twelvemonth basis. Strategic decisions such as acquisitions may have a temporary impact on the company's indebtedness.
CTEK invests its resources in growth and business development. In addition, CTEK's goal is to distribute 30 percent of the year's profit to shareholders. PRO 60




EV = Electric vehicle, PHEV = Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. ICE = Internal Combustion Engine. RV = Recreational vehicle/camper van.
Sustainability is a top priority for CTEK and permeates the entire business. The Company has a clearly defined sustainability strategy with several concrete initiatives and targets monitored on a continuous basis. The sustainability strategy is designed according to environmental, social and governance factors. The Company also requires its suppliers to meet sustainability standards, such as compliance with the Company's Code of Conduct by key suppliers. Through meticulous sustainability work, we meet our customers' increasingly stringent sustainability requirements.
To reduce its climate impact and contribute to a sustainable future, the company is working on several well-defined and concrete initiatives. The initiatives are divided into three categories: environmental, social and governance factors, which are cornerstones of the company's business. Initiatives include a strong focus on innovative electric vehicle chargers and accessories that support fleet electrification, logistics and product inventory planning to reduce carbon emissions from transport, increased diversification, and increased share of tier-1 suppliers subject to a sustainability audit.
Furthermore, CTEK has a Code of Conduct based on ethical and moral business principles implemented and approved by the Board. The principles address aspects such as compliance, respect for human rights, employees, child labour, health and safety and the environment. We require all our suppliers to sign and adhere to the Code of Conduct, which is evaluated annually. As part of the sustainability strategy, short and long-term performance measures are also evaluated for the work towards a circular business model. The performance measures are assessed on a continuous basis and used in the internal target-setting process.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 213 million (201). Net sales increased organically by 5 percent. The Consumer division increased by 7 percent organically. The higher sales in Consumer were primarily attributable to a continued increase in online sales and good growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies chargers to workshops. Net sales in the Professional division increased by 3 percent organically, which was mainly due to the continued positive development in Low voltage with strong sales of customised chargers, and the EVSE business in destination charging remaining at a stable level. EVSE decreased to SEK 27 million (35), accounting for 13 percent (17) of sales in the first quarter of the year. The decline in sales was mainly due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors.
The gross margin rose 2.4 percentage points to 56.4 percent (54.0). The increased gross margin trend was due to the product mix with a higher proportion of Low Voltage products.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 19 million (19), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 9.1 percent (9.7). This margin decline was due to negative unrealised currency effects linked to the strengthening of the SEK against the EUR.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 14 million (8), corresponding to a margin of 6.7 percent (3.8).
Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -13 million (-4) for the first quarter of the year. The decline in net financial income was primarily due to negative unrealised currency effects on loans.
Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -1 million (-3).
Consolidated profit/loss after tax for the first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 0.0 million (profit: 1). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.00 (0.01).


Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 8 million (45) for the first quarter. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -16 million (-19). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -27 million (-102), of which SEK 25 million (100) related to repayment of long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 100 million (120).
CTEK's investments totalled SEK -16 million (-18) for the first quarter, of which SEK -3 million (-2) related to investments in and divestments of tangible assets and SEK -13 million (-17) related to investments in intangible assets attributable to capitalised development costs for current and future products.
CTEK's balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,335 million on 31 March 2025 (1,420 on 31 December 2024). Equity decreased by SEK 1 million during the quarter to SEK 692 million (693 on 31 December 2024). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 274 million at the end of the quarter (278). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA as of 31 March 2025 amounted to 1.9x (2.2).

CTEK's operations are conducted in two divisions, which also represent reporting segments. These are based on the Company's defined customer groups and enable efficient monitoring of the business. The divisions share Group-wide functions, such as IT, HR, product development, marketing and finance.
Sales of the Group's products and services are split between two technologies: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and Low Voltage (LV).
Consumer – directly targets end consumers with sales through distributors, retailers and e-traders.
Professional –customised solutions of EVSE and Low Voltage mainly to vehicle manufacturers, charge point operators and parking companies.
Central – Central includes Group-wide income and expenses not allocated to the segments.

Net sales increased by 7 percent organically to SEK 141 million (132) for the first quarter of the year. Currency effects positively impacted net sales by 1 percentage point. Demand in the Consumer division remained favourable in many markets, with higher online sales and growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies workshops with chargers for professional use.
Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 49 million (47) for the first quarter, corresponding to a margin of 34.8 percent (35.9). The lower margin was mainly due to investments, for example, to strengthen the sales force, resulting in increased selling expenses.
Net sales increased by 3 percent organically to SEK 72 million (69) for the first quarter of the year. Currency effects positively impacted net sales by 1 percentage point. EVSE accounted for 36 percent (49) of sales and comprised our EVSE business in destination charging, which remained at a stable level. The decline in EVSE sales was due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors. In Low Voltage, we saw strong growth, largely driven by deliveries to one of Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturers.
Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 4 million (-3) for the first quarter, corresponding to a margin of 6.0 percent (-4.6). The positive margin was mainly due to increased sales, but also streamlining in the Professional organisation, which resulted in a lower cost base.

Net sales for Central amounted to SEK 0 million (0) for the first quarter. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, EBITDA of SEK -20 million (-12) was reported for the quarter.


The Parent Company of the Group is CTEK AB (publ). Group-support functions in CTEK are reported in CTEK AB. The Parent Company does not sell goods and services to external customers. The Parent Company's profit after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 1 million (0), which mainly consists of management fees, interest expenses, as well as salary for the CEO and remuneration of the Board. The lower earnings were attributable to a decline in management fees within the Group. Equity on 31 March 2025 amounted to SEK 1,656 million compared with SEK 1,656 million on 31 December 2024.
