Q2 2025 Ework Group AB Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Ework Group AB (LTS:0MCB) reported a gross margin improvement to 4.1% from 3.8% in the same quarter last year, driven by increased value creation and add-on services.

- The implementation of a new internal digital platform is nearly complete, which is expected to improve operational efficiency and scalability, particularly with AI integration.
- Despite market challenges, Ework Group AB has maintained steady or increasing hourly rates, particularly due to a high number of senior consultants on assignment.
- Net sales for the second quarter decreased by 13% compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to the phase-out of non-profitable client contracts and fewer working days.
- The company continues to face market restraints, particularly in the Nordic region, with Sweden and Norway experiencing reduced consultant assignments and consultant freezes.
