Interim report January 1 – March 31 2026 
Quarter characterised by commodity price volatility 
 
This is a translation of the Swedish version of the report. In case of any discrepancies, the Swedish version shall prevail.  
 
Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) 
Since 2025, ProfilGruppen has presented Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) as a complement to the Group’s statutory 
financial reporting prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APMs are intended to provide a more true and fair view of the Group’s 
capital-intensive operations, capital structure and capital consumption. This interim report includes complete income statements, 
balance sheets and selected key ratios prepared in accordance with the APM framework, together with a description of the applied 
calculation methodology. The income statements prepared in accordance with APM and IFRS are identical up to operating profit 
before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). Net Income according to APM is divided into operating profit and profit or loss from 
exposure to metal risk. The allocation and periodisation of these results involve uncertainty and are based on assumptions. Profit or 
loss from exposure to metal price risk is identical under IFRS and the APM framework. 
 
First quarter 2026 
• Group’s Net turnover amounted to SEK 609.6 million (639.6 million). 
• Earnings per share for the quarter amounted to SEK 2.5 (3.7) under the fair alternative methodology (APM) and to  
SEK 4.8 (6.0) under statutory accounting (IFRS). 
• Of the earnings per share for the quarter under the APM framework, SEK 1.5 related to profit from exposure to metal price 
risk and SEK 1.0 to operating profit. 
• For the first quarter, profit from exposure to metal price risk is estimated at SEK 29 million, of which approximately SEK 14 
million is assumed to have been included in the earnings per share for the quarter above, while the remaining portion is 
attributable to subsequent periods. 
• Geopolitical uncertainty has resulted in increased market volatility and rising commodity prices. The Group’s business 
model, based on passing material costs on to customers, means that ProfilGruppen is to a large extent unaffected. 
However, profit from exposure to metal price risk is impacted by higher prices.

Profitability and fair alternative reporting (APM) 
ProfilGruppen’s profitability has for an extended period not 
met the owner’s required return, nor the company’s need for 
future reinvestments to ensure a long term sustainable 
business.  
The Group operates a capital-intensive industrial business, 
in which the economic value of the asset base, capital 
consumption and capital renewal are key elements in the 
Group’s long-term development. The Group’s statutory 
financial reporting is prepared in accordance with IFRS and is 
primarily based on historical cost accounting, which may not 
fully reflect the underlying economic reality. For businesses 
with production facilities that have long useful lives and 
extensive use of fully depreciated assets, reporting based on 
historical acquisition cost may result in performance 
measures that do not provide a sufficiently representative 
view. ProfilGruppen therefore applies Alternative 
Performance Measures (APMs) as supplementary analytical 
information in order to provide a clearer and more 
representative picture of the Group’s financial position. 
The Group’s APMs have no impact on the statutory results 
reported under IFRS or on distributable reserves. 
In the balance sheet, an adjustment of SEK 999.2 million is 
recognised under the APM framework on the asset side, 
reflecting the higher estimated replacement value of the 
Group’s fixed assets. The corresponding effect of this 
adjustment is recognised in equity and deferred tax 
liabilities/assets. 
The income statements prepared in accordance with the 
APM framework and statutory accounting under IFRS are 
identical up to operating profit before depreciation and 
amortisation (EBITDA). Differences arise from the application 
of calculated depreciation in place of statutory depreciation. 
For the quarter, calculated depreciation amounted to  
SEK 46.3 million (46.5 million), compared with statutory 
depreciation of SEK 22.0 million (21.9 million). Consequently, 
operating profit and earnings per share are materially 
affected by the alternative depreciation methodology. 
In this interim report, the income statement and financial 
position are presented in accordance with APM, as well as in 
accordance with statutory accounting (IFRS). The financial 
statements of the Parent Company are presented solely in 
the latter format. For further information on the APM 
methodology, reference is made to Note 8. 
 
First quarter 
Market 
The market for aluminium profiles in Northern Europe 
continued to be characterised by a challenging economic 
environment during the latter part of 2025 and the beginning 
of 2026. The anticipated recovery in the construction sector 
and vehicle electrification has been further delayed, while 
demand from other industry segments has developed largely 
in line with neutral trends. 
At the same time, the geopolitical landscape has become 
increasingly uncertain. The ongoing conflict in Iran has 
contributed to heightened concerns regarding market 
stability and global trade flows, particularly in relation to the 
risk of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which constitutes a 
strategically important passage for energy and raw material 
transportation. This development has led to increased 
volatility in the external environment, with potential effects 
on customers’ willingness to invest and higher transportation 
costs, while commodity prices have risen sharply (+22 per 
cent). 
The company is closely monitoring developments and 
continues to engage in active risk management and external 
environment analysis. The Group’s broad and diversified 
customer portfolio contributes to a high level of stability and 
provides resilience in a market characterised by heightened 
uncertainty and volatility. 
 
Revenues and deliveries 
Net Sales for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to SEK 609.6 
million (639.6 million), representing a decline of 
approximately 5 percent compared with the corresponding 
period of the previous year. 
In the first quarter, the ProfilGruppen Group delivered 8,850 
tonnes (9,200) of aluminium profiles, while production 
amounted to 8,525 tonnes (9,175), excluding volumes from 
the Polish operations that were leased during the previous 
year. The lower delivery volumes in the first quarter are 
primarily attributable to a longer Christmas holiday and 
production shutdown at the beginning of the year compared 
with the same period last year. Delivery volumes were partly 
offset towards the latter part of the quarter.

Fair Alternative Performance Measures (APM) 
The fair alternative operating profit (APM) for the quarter 
amounted to SEK 26.1 million (33.2 million), corresponding to 
an operating margin of 4.1 per cent (5.2). The accuracy of the 
result and margin for an individual quarter is limited and 
should be assessed over a longer time horizon. Selling and 
administrative expenses in the first quarter are higher than in 
the corresponding period of the previous year, a 
development that requires further review. 
The fair alternative return on equity after tax amounted to 
4.1 per cent (6.8), compared with the financial target of a 
minimum return of 15 per cent. 
Fair alternative earnings per share for the quarter from 
continuing operations amounted to SEK 2.5 (3.7). There was 
no dilution. 
 
Accounting-based result in accordance with IFRS 
Operating profit according to statutory accounting for the 
first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 50.4 million  
(57.5 million), corresponding to an operating margin of  
8.3 percent (9.0). Profit before tax amounted to  
SEK 47.2 million (58.9 million). Earnings per share amounted 
to SEK 4.5 (5.7). No dilution occurred. 
Earnings per share for the quarter from continuing 
operations amounted to SEK 4.8 (6.0). No dilution occurred. 
 
Investments 
Total investments during the first quarter amounted to SEK 
10.9 million (SEK 16.9 million), excluding changes in right of 
use assets. The investments primarily related to machinery 
and equipment, amounting to SEK 3.9 million (SEK 9.4 
million). The remaining investments, amounting to  
SEK 7.0 million (SEK 7.5 million), related to extrusion tools. 
 
Financing and Liquidity  
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 46.8 
million (SEK 16.2 million). Cash flow for the year was 
positively affected by the divestment of the operations in 
Poland by SEK 31.2 million (SEK -14.4 million) and negatively 
affected by the repayment of pandemic-related tax deferrals 
of SEK -28.2 million (SEK -27.5 million). Excluding these 
effects, cash flow amounted to SEK 43.9 million (SEK 58.1 
million). Cash flow after investing activities amounted to SEK 
34.8 million (SEK -7.4 million). The liquidity reserve amounted 
to SEK 151.3 million (SEK 254.6 million) as of 31 March 2026 
The booked value of total assets under IFRS amounted to 
SEK 1,456.3 million (SEK 1,464.7 million) at the end of the 
quarter, while total assets under APMs amounted to SEK 
2,455.5 million (SEK 2,409.0 million) 
 
Net debt amounted to SEK 152.7 million (SEK 66.6 million) as 
of 31 March 2026, and net debt/EBITDA to 0.7 times (0.3). The 
calculation of net debt does not include the remaining 
pandemic-related tax deferral liability of SEK 52 million. 
Including this deferral, net debt/EBITDA would amount to 0.9 
times. 
ProfilGruppen’s target is a net debt/EBITDA ratio of < 2.0. 
The liability related to pandemic-related tax deferrals is being 
amortised gradually through 2027. 
 
 
 
Transformation 
The company needs to undergo a transformation to achieve 
long-term competitiveness. The transformation journey was 
initiated in the autumn of 2024 through an organisational 
restructuring. This change involved the introduction of profit 
centers, with the objective of improving the company’s ability 
to adapt to and deliver the services demanded by the market. 
Due to insufficient governance during the previous year, the 
intended changes relating to ways of working and financial 
management were not implemented. During the first quarter, 
key positions were filled. A challenge remains in changing 
governance and ways of working throughout the 
organisation. Several projects were initiated during the 
quarter, all aimed at achieving cost savings in production and 
delivery. 
Part of the required improvement in profitability is 
expected to be achieved through the development of the 
customer offering in several respects. This work is extensive 
and ongoing. By further developing the customer offering, 
the Group aims to reach new customer segments and to 
achieve mutual improvements in existing customer 
relationships. 
As an important element in the transformation of the 
customer platform, existing business relationships must be 
reviewed and challenged. This may result in short-term 
negative effects on earnings but is intended to contribute to a 
stronger platform and improved profitability over time. 
ProfilGruppen’s profitability in a competitive market 
environment is based on delivering value-added solutions 
that are recognised and valued by customers. 
 
Metal position at risk 
Based on the significant increase in metal prices during the 
first quarter, the Group has recorded a pre-tax gain 
attributable to the valuation of raw materials of 
approximately SEK 29 million, which will be realised over 
time. Assuming that half of this gain relates to the first 
quarter, EBITDA for the period adjusted for profit from 
exposure to metal price risk amounts to approximately SEK 
58 million. On this basis, the operational return on equity 
after tax for the first quarter under the fair alternative 
methodology (APM) would correspond to approximately 1.0 
per cent (7.7 per cent). 
These figures indicate that operating profitability is 
materially below the financial target of a minimum return on 
equity after tax of 15 per cent under the APM framework. 
Operating profitability has therefore deteriorated compared 
with the corresponding period of the previous year.

Currency 
The Group has a currency loan which amounted to EUR 5.4 
million (EUR 6.8 million) at the balance sheet date.  
 
Personnel 
The average number of employees in the Group during the 
quarter amounted to 499 (492), while the number of 
employees as of 31 March 2026 was 500 (500). 
 
Risks and uncertainties 
The Company’s risks and risk management have not 
materially changed compared with the description provided  
in the 2025 Annual Report.  
At the end of the first quarter, the Group’s risk-exposed 
metal position amounted to approximately SEK 124 million 
(SEK 72 million). At year-end, the risk-exposed metal position 
amounted to SEK 91 million. The increase during the first 
quarter is largely attributable to higher metal prices, which 
can be linked to the attacks by the United States and Israel 
on Iran on 28 February. Commodity prices on the London 
Metal Exchange (LME) have so far continued to rise during the 
second quarter. 
At the end of the quarter, the reported risk-exposed metal 
position amounted to 2,900 tonnes (2,300 tonnes). It is 
measured at market value and represents approximately 8 
per cent of the Group’s total annual metal purchases. 
 
Significant events during the period 
In February, Hendrik Hasewinkel assumed the position Head 
of the Extrusion Area. In March, Heléne Stenström assumed 
the position of CFO. 
 
Outlook for 2026 
ProfilGruppen does not provide a forecast.

Notes 
Note 1 – Accounting Principles 
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements of the Parent 
Company have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s 
recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies applied by the Group are consistent with those used in 
the preparation of the most recent annual report. New or amended standards that became effective in 2026 have not had any impact 
on the Group’s financial reporting. During the fourth quarter of 2025, a decision was taken to discontinue one of the Group’s 
operations. As a result, this operation was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations in the financial statements as of 31 December 2025. Comparative periods in the interim report for 2026 have 
been restated in accordance with this principle, which means that certain reported figures do not correspond to those presented in 
the interim report for the previous year.

Note 7 – Related transactions 
No related‑party transactions occurred during the period that had a material impact on the Group’s financial performance or 
financial position, other than customary payments of Board fees, remuneration to senior executives, dividends, and the intra‑group 
deliveries and rental income in the Parent Company. 
 
Note 8 – Reconciliation between accounting (IFRS) and the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) 
 
Fair alternative income statements and balance sheets (APM) 
ProfilGruppen operates a capital-intensive industrial business, in which the economic value of the asset base, capital consumption 
and capital renewal are key elements in the Group’s long-term development. The Group’s statutory financial reporting is prepared in 
accordance with IFRS and is primarily based on historical acquisition cost, which may not in itself provide a more true and fair view of 
the underlying economic reality. 
 
For operations characterised by long useful lives of production facilities and extensive utilisation of fully depreciated assets, reporting 
based on historical acquisition cost may result in performance measures that do not adequately reflect the Group’s underlying 
economic performance. ProfilGruppen therefore applies Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) as supplementary analytical 
information in order to provide a clearer and more representative view of the Group’s financial position. The applied methodology 
corresponds to an approach that could be used in the preparation of an acquisition balance sheet or purchase price allocation. 
 
The Group’s APMs do not affect statutory profit or loss, distributable reserves or the financial position reported in accordance with 
IFRS. They constitute a complementary basis for analysis. The income statements prepared in accordance with the APM framework 
and statutory accounting are identical up to operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). Differences arise from 
the application of calculated depreciation instead of statutory depreciation. 
 
Calculation Principles for APM 
Estimated Real Value of Fixed Assets 
Remaining technical useful life / calculated depreciation period × replacement value 
The remaining technical useful life and calculated depreciation periods have been determined through individual assessments. 
Replacement values reflect the cost of acquiring an asset with equivalent performance today. Technological development has 
resulted in today’s new assets having significantly higher performance than older ones; therefore, the price of new assets is adjusted 
to reflect the performance of the specific machine. 
 
Adjustment of Equity 
(1 – current tax rate) × (real value – carrying amount) 
 
Adjustment of Deferred Tax Liability 
Current tax rate × (real value – carrying amount) 
 
Tax in the Group’s Alternative Total Comprehensive Income 
Tax calculated on the alternative profit before tax. 
 
Depreciation 
Replacement value / calculated depreciation period

Return on equity is calculated as profit for the period after tax as a percentage of average equity for the period. When calculating return on equity for 
an individual quarter, the quarterly profit after tax is annualised in order to reflect a full-year effect. For the calculation of return on equity on a rolling 
twelve-month basis (R12), profit after tax for the most recent four quarters is used. Net interest-bearing debt does not include pandemic-related 
deferrals amounting to a total of SEK 78 million. In the interest coverage ratio, only interest expenses to financial institutions are included. For other 
definitions and reconciliations of key ratios, reference is made to ProfilGruppen’s website: www.profilgruppen.se. Rounding differences may occur. 
When calculating the key ratios return on capital employed and capital turnover, profit and net sales for the period have been recalculated on a 
twelve-month basis. The key ratios refer to the Group and are based on the Group’s figures, including non-controlling interests, with the exception of 
earnings per share and equity per share. 
 
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as well as generally accepted accounting principles and 
the IFRS framework. 
 
The Board of Directors and the CEO assure that the interim report provides a fair overview of the parent company's and the group's operations, 
position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties that the parent company and the companies included in the group face.
