Q2 2026 Fractal Gaming Group AB Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Fractal Gaming Group AB (OSTO:FRACTL) continued to gain market share across its key markets despite the challenging environment.
- Product margin improved to 39.2% in Q2 2026, up from 35.6% in the prior year, driven by currency, lower freight, and tariff costs.
- The company maintained a positive operating cash flow of 3.8 million and ended the quarter with a net cash position of 18 million.
- Channel inventory levels are normalizing, with Americas and APAC reaching a balanced position in Q2 and EMEA expected to follow in Q3, which should align reported sales with end consumer demand.
- The company continues to execute on its product roadmap, launching the POP2 Vision case and Dynamic 3 fans, with more new products planned for H2 2026.
- Net sales declined sharply by 65.3% year-on-year to 74.7 million, reflecting a significant slowdown in the gaming hardware market.
- The company reported a negative EBITDA of -23.4 million, with an EBITDA margin of -31.3%, due to the substantial drop in sales volumes.
- End consumer demand remained weak, with sales out declining 28.2% year-on-year, pressured by elevated memory prices and higher PC build costs.
- The channel inventory adjustment amplified the sales decline, as partners reduced purchases to align with lower demand, with EMEA still in the process of normalizing.
- The company expects the second half of 2026 to remain challenging from a profitability perspective, with demand recovery expected to be gradual.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to today's presentation of Fractal Gaming Group's second quarter 2026 report.
As we described after the first quarter, the gaming hardware market went through a rapid and significant slowdown in the beginning of the year, driven by sharply increased memory prices.
That environment continued through Q2 and had a clear impact on both end consumer demand and even more significantly on the purchasing behavior across the distribution channel.
