Sectra's six-month interim report 2025/2026: Growth and increased profitability driven by customer satisfaction

• Contracted order bookings decreased 2.0% to SEK 4,741.2 million (4,838.1), of which SEK 3,438.3 million (4,560.1) pertained to guaranteed order bookings.
• Net sales increased 9.4% to SEK 1,616.4 million (1,477.3). Based on unadjusted exchange rates compared with the year-earlier period, the increase was 16.0%. Recurring revenue accounted for SEK 1,137.1 million (967.0) of net sales, up 17.6%. Based on unadjusted exchange rates, the increase was 24.8%. Cloud recurring revenue (CRR) increased 60.5% to SEK 391.7 million (244.1).
• Operating profit rose 46.8% to SEK 307.4 million (209.4), corresponding to an operating margin of 19.0% (14.2). Based on unadjusted exchange rates compared with the year-earlier period, operating profit rose 66.8%. The outcome includes SEK 52.3 million (26.3) in costs for share-based incentive programs. The increase was due to a new program that started during the second half of the previous fiscal year.
• Profit for the period amounted to SEK 251.2 million (168.2).
• Cash flow from operations amounted to SEK 159.6 million (119.4). While the increase was the result of strong underlying earnings, the outcome was hindered by the settlement of current liabilities.

Comments from Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB

"We live in dramatically and rapidly changing times, and as a wise Board member once said to me many years ago: 'Where there is change, there is margin.' It's simply a question of being faster than the competition. Our strength is based on the trust we have built over time. We have been quick to adopt new technology and seize new business opportunities, we have the highest levels of customer satisfaction in the market and—not least—we have fantastic employees. This has resulted in loyal, returning customers, a growing order book and the market's leading solutions for managing essentially all medical images in the cloud.

"Several customers who signed comprehensive service contracts during the previous fiscal year have now entered the pilot phase. The focus is on optimizing services before major deployments. We expect to gradually increase the volumes from these contracts in the coming years. However, it is important to note that implementing these large projects will entail major increased costs, including costs for cloud computing, until our revenue starts to gain momentum after a quarter or two. This will have a negative impact on the rest of the fiscal year.

"We are also experiencing product delivery delays in Secure Communications that will have a negative impact on the full year. Long development cycles and approval processes for encryption solutions as well as changing threat scenarios may have such effects. In the case of Secure Communications, these effects—which have been quite substantial—will continue for the rest of the fiscal year and are not expected to subside until next year. Otherwise this operating area has a strong positive trend, and we believe that the global security situation will continue to drive demand for products and services that can strengthen information security in society.

"The transition to selling cloud-based services is an investment in the future that requires persistence and a long-term focus. While this investment is putting pressure on our short-term financial performance, we are building a stronger and more resilient Sectra in the long term."
