Ework Group publishes Interim Report, January – March 2026: Lower earnings, but a stronger foundation for future growth
Net sales amounted to SEK 3,021.9 M (3,510.6), a decrease of 13.9 percent compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Gross profit amounted to SEK 124.4 M (142.5) and operating profit (EBIT) to SEK 14.0 M (34.3). The result was negatively impacted by restructuring costs of approximately SEK 9 M, in accordance with what we communicated previously. Overall, the result for the quarter is in line with our expectations. The implemented organisational changes are expected to yield annual cost savings of approximately SEK 18 M, with full effect from 2027 onwards, and constitute an important step in the transition towards a more efficient, customer-oriented and commercially driven organisation.
At the presentation of our results for the fourth quarter 2025 we guided that 2026 would entail a decrease in EPS of 10 to 20 percent compared with 2025. During the first quarter 2026 the business developed in line with our expectations. Compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year, we see a continued decrease in business volume, which is a consequence of the market situation we have seen for a long time with restraint and cutbacks among our clients. In parallel, we have implemented a transition in the organisation to create better conditions for long-term, scalable growth.

- Net sales decreased by 13.9 percent to SEK 3,021.9 M (3,510.6).
