ORTELIUS International AB ("ORTELIUS" or the "Company") today publishes its Annual Report for the financial year 2025. The Annual Report is, in all material respects, consistent with the previously published Year-End Report for 2025. However, in connection with the finalization of the Annual Report and the completion of the audit process, the parent company has recognized an impairment of shares in subsidiaries amounting to SEK 210 million.
The auditor has issued an audit report containing an Emphasis of Matter paragraph relating to the assumption of going concern, as well as certain remarks pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act.
The Annual Report is available on the Company's website, Financial Reports – Investor Relations, and is also attached to this press release.
