"During my first few months at Coor, I have spent time visiting with many of our customers and operations and meeting our employees in the field. I can say that we have fantastic employees who are highly knowledgeable and driven as well as strong customer relationships. We are currently conducting an analysis to determine the right path forward for Coor. Whatever the outcome of this analysis, our focus will always be on maintaining strong deliveries to our customers, while also continuing to improve our operational efficiency and profitability".

Quarterly summary

• During the quarter, it was announced that Ola Klingenborg had been appointed as the new President and CEO of Coor and will take office on 1 March 2025. Ola Klingenborg will also take over as head of Coor’s Swedish operations until a permanent replacement has been appointed.
• During the first quarter, Coor continued to provide strong customer deliveries and earn trust from customers in a stable market. Coor successfully extended important contracts and won new business.
• Profitability in the first quarter improved compared with the preceding quarter.

–          Measures related to the operational challenges in parts of the Swedish and Danish operations are ongoing, and the company will continue to focus on improving its operational efficiency with the aim of restoring profitability to the expected level.

–         The company’s previously announced reorganisation, which includes a reduction of 130 positions and expected full-year savings of approximately SEK 120 million, took effect on 1 April 2025. The introduction of the new organisation is a major change, and the implementation has proceeded well. The set schedule has been adhered to and the risks associated with the change has been managed in a structured manner.  The purpose of the new organisation structure has been well received in the company, and we now see that the company’s staff functions have a partially new assignment with greater focus on operational efficiency.

• Working capital was reduced by approximately SEK 200 million during the quarter, which means that a large portion of the increase from last year has been restored. As a result of the reduction in working capital, cash conversion improved significantly to 81 per cent, from 57 per cent in the preceding quarter.
