  • Despite currency headwinds, Engcon AB (FRA:917) maintained effective cost control, demonstrating the scalability and strength of its business model.
Negative
  • The strengthening of the Swedish krona has put pressure on margins, impacting the company's ability to meet its long-term EBIT margin target.
  • Gross margin decreased to 40.7%, partly due to the currency effects and a less favorable product and market mix.
  • The uncertainty around tariffs and pricing in the US has created hesitation in the market, affecting order intake and sales in the Americas.

Engcon AB - Chief Executive Officer, Board member

Hello, and warm welcome to Engcon's presentation for the second quarter of 2025. Thanks for joining us today. My name is Krister Blomgren, I'm the CEO of Engcon. And with me today is our CFO, Marcus Asplund. We are eager to share some highlights and key numbers from our Q2 report. And after that, we will go into the Q&A where you can shoot your questions.

Let's start with the positive highlights. We have had a really strong second quarter, both net sales and order intake we had Q2 record levels. In fact, to find similar figures, we have to go back to our standout year 2022. A big driver behind this growth has been the strong return of the Nordic region, during the current digging season.

We saw high activity and strong demand, especially because many contractors needed to replace aging excavators and dealers had relatively low inventory levels coming into the season. It also was a solid tiltrotator volume growth in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, a high number of tiltrotator units were delivered
