CEO Erik Stenfors comments on the report
“The second quarter once again confirms the strength of HANZA’s business model. We delivered 9 percent organic growth, an operating margin of 9.3 percent in comparable units, and cash flow from operating activities of SEK 273 million. This represents profitable organic growth with strong cash conversion.”
“HANZA BMK continues to show positive development. The operating margin increased from 7.3 percent in Q1 to 7.5 percent in Q2, while order intake rose. The integration is proceeding according to plan, and we expect the operating margin to continue to increase.”
“We are taking the first two customer-driven steps toward HANZA 2028 through the Horizon program and the Fortaco acquisition. Horizon streamlines our industrial platform, while the Fortaco acquisition broadens the platform in heavy mechanics and complex assembly.”
“The Fortaco acquisition is a good fit for HANZA both industrially and financially. The operations are profitable; the acquisition will contribute positively to earnings per share from the closing date, and the debt ratio should remain within our financial targets. Together with the BMK integration and Horizon, this gives us a stable foundation for achieving the goals of HANZA 2028.”
