Comments from our CEO, Stefan Andersson:

In a very turbulent world, KB Components delivers a solid start to the year. Revenue, thanks to acquisitions, grew by 20% while profit, measured as profit before tax (EBT), grew by 10%. The new acquisitions in Finland, Estonia and India delivered according to plan or even slightly better, although their earnings are not yet on par with the Group’s average. Activities to get there are ongoing and we already see a clear positive trend towards the end of the quarter.

There are ongoing discussions about structural projects, including discussions about future acquisitions that can both directly and indirectly affect our production structure. Volume development in the short and medium term is expected to be stable and on a par with Q1-2025 in all our markets. In the slightly longer term, major new deals have been made, primarily in North America, which will provide strong organic growth from the second half of 2026. For Europe, we expect good growth in the customer segments that have been added through the acquisition of Plastone Group, and in Asia we expect generally good volume development in the short, medium and long term.
