• Adjusted operating margin 13.3% (13.0%) with Industrial at 16.6% (16.3%) and Automotive at 5.1% (5.3%).
• Organic growth −0.2% (−6.6%), driven by lower market demand within the Automotive market while the Industrial
It's encouraging that our adjusted operating margin improved, year-over-year, with relatively flat organic sales and significant currency headwind. We have continued to work hard to create a strong foundation for the future, including our ongoing rightsizing activities.
Our organic sales declined in the second quarter by –0.2% year-over-year. For our Industrial business, organic sales improved in all regions, especially in Asia where it was partly driven by favorable timing of deliveries. In Europe, sales volumes improved sequentially driven by stronger demand in aerospace, lubrication and magnetics.
Our Automotive business continued to face challenging market conditions globally, except for electrical vehicles, resulting in an organic sales decline, year-over-year.
We delivered a strong adjusted operating margin of 13.3% given the mixed demand and significant negative currency impact. The margin was driven by pricing, portfolio management and good cost control. We largely compensated for increased tariff costs. Given current tariff levels, we expect this to be the case also in the third quarter, with the majority of the net impact in Automotive.
Items affecting comparability (IAC) was high in the quarter. This as the full amount of costs related to the previously indicated rightsizing program were charged. As the Automotive separation is building momentum, IAC also includes sequentially higher separation costs. Furthermore, we reported a capital gain of BSEK 0.8. Due to timing effects, costs related to footprint regionalization were low in the quarter. In total, IAC amounted to BSEK –1.8.
Cash flow increased to BSEK 2.8 (2.2) due to improved working capital, where accounts payable contributed positively.
Strengthened operational and commercial excellence are key pillars to create significant customer value in targeted markets.
As part of improving our operational excellence, we have managed to swiftly adapt our organization to the rapidly changing market conditions in recent years, contributing to our margin resilience.
To further enhance our competitiveness, the previously announced rightsizing of our Industrial business, enabled by the Automotive separation, comprise of a gross reduction of approximately 1,700 positions, primarily staff positions in Europe. With re-hires related to our ongoing strategic footprint shift, the net reduction is approximately 1,200 positions. These actions are difficult to take, but necessary to secure our future competitiveness. The savings are estimated at approximately BSEK 2 and will more than compensate for dissynergies related to the Automotive separation. The full annual run-rate saving is expected to be achieved in 2027, with a fairly linear pace between 2026-2027. The savings also include a reduction of consultants and other cost-saving activities. Restructuring costs are fully charged to this quarter as IAC and amount to BSEK 2, while the cash flow impact is primarily expected in 2026. The ongoing organizational review, including manning activities, of our Automotive business and its associated effects will be presented on our Capital Markets Day on 11 November.
One targeted market, where we have improved our performance through commercial excellence including portfolio prioritization and pricing activities, is aerospace. Following the strategic review we started in 2023, our aerospace business

has had 12% annual sales growth and an increased adjusted operating margin of 8pp between 2022 and 2025. We're now well positioned for future profitable growth from attractive long-term contracts with major customers, an increased aftermarket presence, and an operational setup to serve our customers effectively. We are doing similar commercial initiatives in other parts of our industrial business to cater for long-term value creation.
While the global economic development makes the outlook uncertain, we expect organic sales to be relatively unchanged in Q3, year-over-year.
Rickard Gustafson President and CEO
Net sales amounted to MSEK 23,166 (25,606) and decreased by –9.6% compared to last year, whereof currency effects accounted for –9.0%. Organic sales declined by –0.2% (–6.6%). The lower sales volumes were mostly offset by positive price/ mix due to continued pricing and portfolio management. Regionally, China and Northeast Asia as well as India and Southeast Asia had positive organic growth, while Europe, Middle East and Africa and the Americas had declining organic sales. Net impact from acquired and divested growth was –0.4%, relating to the acquisition of the John Sample Group last year and the divestment of the aerospace business in Hanover, USA during the quarter.

Operating profit for the second quarter was MSEK 1,300 (2,489). Operating profit included items affecting comparability of MSEK –1,790 (–835), whereof restructuring and cost reduction activities accounted for MSEK –2,006 (–621) including the full cost of the rightsizing of the Industrial business, for more information please see page 2. In addition, MSEK –339 was related to the separation of the Automotive business and MSEK –211 (–214) was primarily related to impairment of fixed assets. It also included MSEK 766 in profit related to the sale of the aerospace business in Hanover, USA. The majority of the items affecting comparability was incurred in cost of goods sold.
The adjusted operating profit for the second quarter was MSEK 3,090 (3,324). The adjusted operating profit was positively impacted by price and mix. Adjusted operating profit was negatively impacted by lower sales and manufacturing volumes as well as significant currency headwind. Solid cost control resulted in positive cost development compared to last year, despite wage inflation, volume related cost inefficiencies and tariffs, where the latter was largely compensated for.

The Industrial business reported net sales of MSEK 16,654 (17,943). Organic growth was 2.4% driven by solid price/mix. Currency effects impacted net sales negatively by –9.1% and the net impact from acquired and divested growth was –0.5%.
Geographically, all regions reported positive organic growth, especially in Asia where it was partly driven by favorable timing of deliveries. From a customer industry perspective, aerospace continued to deliver strong organic growth, while heavy industries as well as high speed machinery and electrical drives were down organically.
The adjusted operating profit for the second quarter was MSEK 2,759 (2,919), with a corresponding operating margin of 16.6% (16.3%). Solid price/mix contribution more than offset lower sales and manufacturing volumes. Cost reduction activities as well as lower material cost almost offset wage inflation, volume related cost inefficiencies and tariff costs. Furthermore, currency effects had a significantly negative impact on the operating profit.

3) For the quarter, in local currencies, changes year-over-year.
• Q3 2025: While the global economic development makes the outlook uncertain, we expect organic sales to be relatively unchanged, year-over-year.
• Currency impact on the operating profit is expected to be around MSEK 500 negative compared to the third quarter 2024, based on exchange rates per 30 June 2025.
• Q2 2025: We expect continued volatility and, even if we have seen signs of markets bottoming out, we plan for another quarter with negative volumes and expect organic sales to weaken somewhat in Q2, year-over-year.
• Currency impact on the operating profit is expected to be around MSEK 400 negative compared to the second quarter 2024, based on exchange rates per 31 March 2025.
Operating profit for the first half year was MSEK 4,185 (5,482). Operating profit included items affecting comparability of MSEK –2,138 (–1,145), whereof MSEK –2,241 (–836) related to ongoing restructuring and cost reduction activities, including the full cost of the rightsizing of the Industrial business. In addition, MSEK –484 related to the separation of the Automotive business and MSEK –403 (–309) primarily related to impairment of fixed assets. It also included MSEK 224 related to profit from sale of the manufacturing site in Luton, UK, as well as MSEK 766 related to profit from sale of the aerospace business in Hanover, USA.
The adjusted operating profit for the first half year was MSEK 6,323 (6,627). The adjusted operating profit was positively impacted by price and mix. Solid cost control resulted in relatively stable cost levels year over year, despite wage inflation, volume related cost inefficiencies and tariffs. The adjusted operating profit was negatively impacted by lower sales and manufacturing volumes as well as significant currency headwind.
Financial income and expenses, net was MSEK –731 (–648). Exchange rate fluctuations had a more negative impact in 2025 compared to 2024 while interest expenses were higher in 2024. Taxes in the first half year were MSEK –923 (–1,169), resulting in an effective tax rate of 26,7% (24,2%). Net cash flow from operating activities in the first half year was MSEK 3,794 (3,933). The lower operating result impacted cash flow negatively compared to previous year.
Hans Stråberg, Hock Goh, Geert Follens, Håkan Buskhe, Susanna Schneeberger, Rickard Gustafson, Beth Ferreira, Therese Friberg, Richard Nilsson and Niko Pakalén were reelected as Board members. Mats Rahmström was newly elected as Board member. Hans Stråberg was elected Chair of the Board. The Board has appointed Håkan Buskhe and Mats Rahmström as Vice Chairs of the Board.
SKF has completed the previously announced divestment of its ring and seal operation in Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA, to Carco PRP Group for a total enterprise value of MUSD 215, corresponding to approximately BSEK 2.1. The divestment will result in a capital gain amounting to approximately BSEK 0.8 in Q2 and will be reported as Items affecting comparability.
SKF has inaugurated its new factory in Tangier, Morocco, which initially will employ around 60 people. The factory will manufacture components for magnetic bearings and highspeed electric motors, enabling SKF to meet the increased demand for these solutions while strengthening the Group's position as a global leader in this area.

SKF has a longstanding track record on understanding and reducing it's environmental and climate impact and started already in 2000 to set targets and report on carbon dioxide emissions. In 2020, the target of decarbonizing own operations by 2030 was launched and in 2021 SKF's target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for the full value chain by 2050 was set. Both targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative.
The four strategic levers to decarbonized manufacturing operations by 2030 are energy and operational efficiency improvements, as well as switching to renewable energy sources and electrification of fossil fuel applications. This covers both scope 1 direct emissions as well as scope 2 indirect emissions.
During the last quarter reported, the scope 1 and 2 emissions were further reduced, well ahead of the target trajectory. The main contribution has been continued increase of renewable electricity sourcing in primarily India and Southeast Asia and Mexico. Energy efficiency has continued to improve and lower production activity has also contributed to lower energy consumption.


1) Latest figures are presented for the end of the previous quarter, 12 months rolling.
Sustainability is an integral part of SKF's strategy and is a priority for long-term profitable growth. Around 20% of all energy produced globally is used to overcome friction. By creating more efficient and durable solutions for industries, significantly cutting emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain by 2050, SKF is pioneering sustainability in its sphere. Further reporting of all material sustainability topics are found in the Annual Report, including for example accident rates, disclosures for own workforce and workers in the value chain.

1) Previously published figures for 2023 and 2024 have been restated to reflect change in responsibilities for factories and Group functions in accordance with new organizational structure.
The consolidated financial statements of the SKF Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Disclosures as required by IAS 34 p. 16 A are provided in the notes to the financial statements as well as in other parts of the interim report. The financial statements of the Parent Company were prepared in accordance with the "Annual Accounts Act" and the RFR 2 "Accounting for legal entities". SKF Group and the Parent Company applied the same accounting principles and methods of computation in the interim financial statements as compared with the latest annual report. IASB issued several amended accounting standards that were endorsed by EU, effective date 1 January 2025. None of these have a material effect on the SKF Group's financial statements.
Pillar II income taxes legislation was effective from 1 January 2024. Under the legislation, the Parent Company will be required to pay top-up tax on profit of its subsidiaries that are taxed at an effective tax rate of less than 15%. No top-up tax has been included in the financial statements for the second quarter 2025. SKF Group has analyzed the financial figures and concluded that the Group is not expecting any additional material top-up tax during 2025. The Group will continue to assess the impact of Pillar II income taxes legislation on its future financial performance.
Valuation principles and classifications of the financial instruments, as described in SKF Annual Report 2024, have been consistently applied throughout the reporting period. There are no major changes in fair value during the period.
No significant change is present for transactions with related parties in relation to disclosure provided in Annual Report 2024.
The SKF Group operates in many different industrial and geographical areas. As a result, the SKF Group is exposed to various types of risks. SKF appreciates that there are risks associated with the macro environment such as the geopolitical landscape, the state of global markets and significant industry and technological shifts. There are also business risks including supply chain disruptions, information and cybersecurity threats, and challenges in attracting talent in a competitive labour market. Additionally, there are legal and compliance risks arising from the increased regulatory demands and internal governance and coordination within the Group as well as ongoing regulatory investigations and processes.
The SKF Group's operations are also exposed to various types of financial risks; market risks (being currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks), liquidity risks and credit risks. Further information on the risks and how SKF works to mitigate them is found in SKF's latest Annual Report (available on investors.skf.com/en), under "Risks and the share".
The financial position of the Parent Company is dependent on the financial position and development of the subsidiaries. A general decline in the demand for the products and services provided by the Group could mean lower residual profits and lower dividend income for the Parent Company, as well as a need for writing down values of the shares in the subsidiaries.
In April SKF completed the previously announced divestment of its ring and seal operation in Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA. The divestment within the aerospace business resulted in a total cash inflow of MSEK 2,209 and a net gain of MSEK 766.

Independent Auditor's Report on the review of half-year financial information. To the Board of Directors of AB SKF (publ), Corporate ID No. 556007-3495.
We have reviewed the interim report of AB SKF (publ) for the period January 1-June 30, 2025. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our 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 review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
