Although revenue did not reach last year\u2019s level \u2013 as the comparison period included several large, project\u2011specific orders \u2013 we are demonstrating strengthened profitability.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Towards the end of the quarter and into the beginning of 2026, we have seen a clear increase in market activity. Several larger orders with deliveries scheduled for the coming quarters have been secured, and we are beginning to see how the major infrastructure investments across Europe are gradually benefiting our markets. At the same time, unusually cold winter weather has had a short\u2011term negative impact on the portion of our revenue driven by orders with shorter delivery cycles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sales for the quarter amounted to EUR 44,000 thousand (49,416), a decrease of -11.0% compared to the previous year. Organic growth was -1.9%, adjusted for exchange rate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Operating earnings (EBIT) amounted to EUR 3,589 thousand (-1,525), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 8.2% (-3.1). Items affecting comparability in the quarter amounted to EUR 548 thousand (-4,081). The adjusted operating earnings amounted to EUR 3,041 thousand (2,915), corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 6.9% (5.9). Operating profit was positively impacted by a reduced cost base, resulting from the sustainable efficiency measures implemented at the end of 2024.<\/em><em><br \/><\/em><em>The quarter\u2019s operating cash flow was lower compared with the same period last year, primarily driven by a change in working capital, where an advance payment from a major customer project had a positive impact on the comparison period.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Order intake during the quarter amounted to EUR 40,479 thousand (39,815), an increase of 1.7% compared to last year. Organic growth amounted to 8.7%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In December, we completed the divestment of the property in the United Kingdom, which generated a positive cash flow contribution of approximately EUR 6 million.<\/em><em><br \/><\/em><em>To further strengthen our position and efficiency, we have decided to reorganize the business from three to two business areas as of January 1, 2026. The former GeoTechnical Solutions and StormWater Solutions business areas will be consolidated into the new business area<\/em><em><strong> Water &amp; Ground Solutions<\/strong><\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The consolidation aims to create clear commercial, operational, and administrative synergies. Under a unified management structure, Water &amp; Ground Solutions will benefit from a stronger customer offering and an improved ability to leverage our combined expertise. The Bridges &amp; Culverts Solutions business area will remain unchanged. The new organization will be presented in full in the report for the first quarter of 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Despite a challenging market environment that has not yet returned to normal levels, the full year 2025 delivered a clear improvement in results compared with 2024. With the major infrastructure investments currently being implemented across Europe, we look ahead to developments in 2026 and the coming years with confidence.
