Increased infrastructure investments are being planned in several of ViaCon\u2019s key markets, and we are very well positioned to participate in these initiatives. As infrastructure investments often have a long-term horizon, we expect them to gradually contribute to positive development during the second half of 2025 and in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Sales for the quarter amounted to EUR 46,373 thousand (46,213), an increase of 0.3% compared to the previous year. Organic growth was 4.4%, adjusted for exchange rate effects, hyper-inflation adjustments, divestments and acquisitions.<\/p>\n<p>Operating earnings (EBIT) amounted to EUR 3,829 thousand (463), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 8.3% (1.0). Items affecting comparability in the quarter amounted to 188 (770). The adjusted operating earnings amounted to EUR 4,017 thousand (1,233), corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.7% (2.7).<\/p>\n<p>The operating result has been positively impacted by higher volumes in the Bridges &amp; Culverts Solutions and StormWater Solutions business areas, as well as a reduced cost base resulting from the sustained efficiency measures implemented. The quarter\u2019s cash flow from operating activities was lower compared to the corresponding period last year, mainly driven by an increased working capital due to high sales volumes.<\/p>\n<p>After the end of the quarter, the divestment of the property in France was completed. The sale will have a positive cash flow effect of approximately EUR 9 million in the third quarter of 2025. A similar process is also underway regarding a potential divestment of ViaCon\u2019s property in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>During the quarter, work to secure the Group\u2019s financing progressed according to plan. Further details are provided in the interim report.<\/p>\n<p>Order intake during the quarter amounted to EUR 48,575 thousand (54,385), an decrease of 10.7% compared to last year. Organic growth amounted to -7.1%. The decrease in order intake is attributable to two large orders received during the comparison period in the Bridges &amp; Culverts business area.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of 2025 marks a clear step in the right direction for ViaCon. As markets gradually continue to move toward a more normal situation, we expect a continued positive development throughout 2025 and in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Nordstr\u00f6m,<br \/>President and CEO<\/p>\n<p>The full report is published at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.viacongroup.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.viacongroup.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer mfn-contacts mfn-f748f9bf9d6b\">\n<p><strong class=\"mfn-heading-1\">For further information, please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Stefan Nordstr\u00f6m, CEO<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>E-mail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:stefan.nordstrom@viacongroup.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stefan.nordstrom@viacongroup.com\u00a0<\/a><br \/>Tel: +46 (0) 706\u00a032\u00a013\u00a006\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Delborn, CFO<\/strong> <br \/>E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:philip.delborn@viacongroup.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">philip.delborn@viacongroup.com<\/a> <br \/>Tel: +46 (0) 702 125264<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer mfn-about mfn-4ecdb1e95264\">\n<p><strong class=\"mfn-heading-1\">About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>ViaCon constructs connections.
