Kamux lowers its outlook for the year 2026. Kamux now expects its adjusted operating profit for 2026 to decrease compared to the previous year.
Rationale for updating the outlook

Due to weaker than expected gross profit development the adjusted operating profit is estimated to be lower than expected. During the third quarter, Kamux sold 15,962 cars (15,727).
Measures to improve profitability
Kamux announced earlier that it will close down its operations in Germany. In Sweden Kamux has initiated employee consultation process in order to close down four loss-making showrooms, and in Finland the company is initiating change negotiations concerning support functions to reduce costs.
