In 2025, the Company's focus has been to accelerate by executing on strategic growth initiatives, increasing its profitability focus, continuing cost optimizations, and building a stronger Humble Group. The efficiency program and the evaluation of a more streamlined business focus represent the next natural step in this development.

The efficiency program's annual savings of approximately SEK 80 million are expected to reach full effect within 12 months and will affect approximately 70 group positions. Restructuring costs for the implementation of the program amount to approximately SEK 35 million and will be reserved during the third quarter of 2025 and reported as items affecting comparability.

The evaluation of streamlining the Company's business focus, which today consists of four business areas and 45 subsidiaries, is a natural part of the Group's continued development as well as its overall strategy of creating value in small- and medium-sized FMCG companies. The evaluation may result in structural alternatives such as divestments of entire businesses or parts thereof, industrial partnerships, and new ownership structures.

"As we now enter the next phase of the group's development, we are taking an important step towards a more efficient cost structure, which is expected to strengthen both profitability and cash flow. Humble Group and several of our companies' increased levels of stability and maturity enable us to evaluate structural alternatives for these group companies. At the same time, this allows us to concentrate operations on areas of greatest strategic importance and profitability potential, while optimizing the group's capital allocation into a more favourable structure for future value growth," says Simon Petrén, CEO of Humble Group.
