CEO’S STATEMENT 
Large-scale cyber attack at a major customer
At the end of August, one of our largest customers was the victim of 
a cyber attack that had far-reaching consequences not only for them, 
but also for us and other parties in their value chain. For Bulten, this 
meant something like SEK 200 million in lost sales during the quarter, 
with a significant knock-on effect on earnings. The customer’s pro -
duction has just started up again, with a gradual increase in produc -
tion rates and scheduled to reach full volume in the middle of the 
fourth quarter. As a result, we expect lost sales again in Q4 of around 
the same scale as Q3. From the first quarter of 2026 we expect 
 volumes to return to normal, or just above, as the customer’s ability 
to increase production rates improves and their backlog decreases. 
New organizational structure
In our strategic review, which includes organization, factory structure, 
and business models, we finalized a new organizational structure 
during the third quarter. The result is a far more decentralized 
 organization. As part of the implementation, we have announced  
a reduction in approximately half of all central services linked to 
Gothenburg, where we have our headquarters. We have also worked 
on streamlining, which in total means that we are reducing the total 
number of employees globally by just over 200 people, since the 
review began in the spring. This corresponds to approximately  
10% of the Group’s employees and an annual cost reduction of 
approximately SEK 100 million.
Winning new business
We are working intensively to win new business with a larger share of 
value-added services and in verticals such as consumer electronics, 
medical technology, aerospace, and defense. The team is doing a 
great job and we can see that our efforts are starting to bear fruit.  
I would like to highlight three contracts we have won since the 
 previous report. 
 The first is an order that sees us taking overall responsibility and 
consolidating fasteners and related components for a new car factory 
in Eastern Europe. Anticipated annual sales are SEK 200–300 million, 
with start-up from mid-2027 and good opportunities for add-on 
business. We will be handling several hundred items, of which about 
40% will be produced by Bulten and the rest purchased through 
third parties.
 One of the areas we are investing in the most for the future is 
micro screws for consumer electronics. We are making clear progress 
and began several interesting projects during the quarter. Also, via 
our subsidiary PSM, we have been nominated as a supplier for a new 
series of cell phones for one of the largest manufacturers, a contract 
we estimate to be worth an extra SEK 100 million in annual sales 
from the first half of 2026.
 A third order of interest to the Group has been won by our 
 subsidiary EXIM. They have entered into a framework agreement  
for the supply of C-items to a globally leading manufacturer of 
 electrical installation products, with start-up scheduled before the 
Sales and profit for the third quarter were clearly lower than the previous year.  
The decrease is essentially related to a cyber attack on one of our largest customers, 
which caused a total supply shutdown in the latter part of the quarter. Sales to 
 segments such as medical technology and consumer electronics remained strong. 
During the quarter, the work to establish a new organization was completed, and 
the strategic shift proceeded according to plan.
end of the year. The agreement comes as a result of opening our own 
operations with local distribution centers, with the ability to manage 
VMI programs in Thailand, Vietnam, and India. The contract is worth 
approximately SEK 20 million per year when fully implemented.
It is very gratifying to see that we are winning new business in a 
tough market, and we look forward to continue striving ahead toward 
profitable growth.
Strategic shift of business model
In our strategic review, we have decided to reduce our exposure to 
OEMs and the percentage of our business where we are contract 
manufacturers, in favor of initiatives to increase orders where we 
manufacture niche products such as micro screws and have total 
responsibility for C-items. 
 The new strategic direction means that we want to make a major 
change to our factory structure and we are evaluating the possibility 
of divesting a number of factories.
 We are convinced that the new strategic focus and a more 
resource-efficient organization will lead to a stronger and more 
 profitable Bulten.

ORDER BOOKINGS AND NET SALES
Third quarter
Order bookings amounted to SEK 902 (1,455) million, a decrease  
of -38.0% on the corresponding period the previous year. The

 production stop at one of our largest customers.
  Group net sales amounted to SEK 1,034 (1,333) million, a 
decrease of -22.4% on the same period the previous year. Adjusted  
for foreign exchange effects, growth totaled -18.7% for the same 
period.

Group net sales amounted to SEK 3,802 (4,332) million, a decrease

AUDITOR’S REPORT
BULTEN AB (PUBL), ORG NO. 556668-2141            This is a translation of the Swedish language original
INTRODUCTION
We have conducted a review of the summary of financial information 
(interim report) for Bulten AB (publ) as of September 30,  
2025 and the nine-month period leading up to this date. The Board of 
Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for preparing 
and presenting this interim financial information in accordance with 
IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.  
 It is our responsibility to express a conclusion on this interim  
report based on our review.
 
SCOPE OF REVIEW 
We have conducted a review in accordance with the International 
Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim 
 Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of  
the Entity.
 A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons 
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying 
 analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different 
objective and is substantially less in scope than an audit in line  
with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.  
The review procedures in a review engagement do not enable us to 
obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all 
 significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
 The expressed conclusion based on a review does not, therefore, 
have the same assurance as an expressed conclusion based on  
an audit.
 
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes  
us to believe that the interim report has not been prepared, in all 
material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual 
Accounts Act regarding the Group and with the Swedish Annual 
Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
