Henrik Carlborg, President and CEO, comments:

Earnings continued to improve in Q3, with operating profit increasing 86% to SEK 69m (37), driven by strong performance in the US and aftermarket growth in all markets. Our focus on aftermarket, efficiency and better use of technology is increasingly visible in the results, and we expect more operational leverage as volumes grow.

Revenue grew 15% to SEK 1,216m (1,060), or 20% on a fixed currency basis. Gross margin improved to 20.3% (19.1). Net profit totaled SEK 79m (-13), and net debt/EBITDA improved to 2.8x (3.9), within our target.

In the US, demand remained strong, driven by road construction and other public infrastructure as well as data centers and power infrastructure. Sales grew 20% to SEK 810m (677), or 27% in dollars, with solid growth in all revenue streams. Gross margin improved to 22.5% (20.5), partly supported by a favorable revenue mix. Operating profit almost doubled to SEK 83m (43), with an operating margin of 10.2% (6.3). As our installed base grows, so does the aftermarket potential. Capturing more of this potential remains our key priority. We continue to develop our mobile field service app and have relaunched our automated lead generator, which helps us respond faster and improve uptime for our customers. We keep adding technicians, as more capacity is needed to keep growing the aftermarket. We also advanced plans for a new facility in St. Louis, our largest branch, and signed a lease for a new facility in Des Moines.

In Germany, the economy is gradually improving, but the truck market remained subdued and registrations in our territory declined in the quarter. High fuel costs make customers cautious, and demand for new trucks is mainly driven by replacement needs. Fleets continue to be operated and maintained, however, supporting demand for service and parts. Sales increased 5% to SEK 376m (358), with truck sales unchanged and aftermarket sales up 12%. Operating profit improved to SEK 3m (-1). We see further potential in the aftermarket and keep working to grow the service organization, capture more transit traffic, and increase service sales beyond trucks, particularly buses and trailers.

In Kazakhstan, sales increased 24% to SEK 31m (25) despite delayed government payments, while operating profit amounted to SEK 3m (7).

We remain optimistic about the US. Demand is supported by road construction and infrastructure, with data centers as an additional driver. While quarterly equipment volumes will vary, our growing installed base, expanding rental fleet and increasing aftermarket penetration provide a solid foundation for continued growth. In Germany, we expect the gradual recovery to continue. With a lower cost base and a stronger aftermarket, we are well positioned as volumes return. In Kazakhstan, we expect activity to improve as government spending resumes.
