“During the quarter the volumes increased in both Europe and North America. We have thus succeeded in defending our strong market position, especially in Rubber Compounding.  Overall, volumes increased, especially within customer segment wire and cable, building and construction and medical. Automotive was in line with last year, then as now affected by the closure of our customers’ factories in connection with the Christmas holidays. However, sales were negatively affected primarily by currency- and mix effects.
We delivered sales of 4,254 MSEK (4,694), which is 9 percent lower than the corresponding period previous year. The lower sales were mainly affected by negative currency effects of 9 percent. Adjusted for the negative currency effects the sales were in line with previous year. In addition to currency effects, acquisitions contributed positively to sales with 3 percent while organic sales developed negatively with 3 percent. Adjusted EBIT amounted to 508 MSEK (631) in the quarter where the decrease is mainly affected by currency and mix effects. We delivered a strong cash flow of 1,037 MSEK (1,171), positively impacted by successful reduction of our working capital. The Board of directors propose an ordinary unchanged dividend for 2025 of 4.20 SEK per share (4.20).
Global uncertainty continues with geopolitical concerns, and we currently see no general market improvement in the near future. However, HEXPOL has a strong market position and a well-proven business model that together with a strong customer focus and geographical closeness to our customers gives us good conditions to deal with global uncertainty. We continue to strengthen the company’s position by laying the foundation for taking advantage of the growth opportunities that exist, organically as well as through acquisitions, while we continuously work with efficiency measures.”
