Lagercrantz organic revenue up 3% in the United States

Lagercrantz Group AB, a leading technology trading group, has released its first-quarter (Q1) 2025/2026 financial results, highlighting strong organic revenue growth in the United States. The company reported a 3% increase in organic sales, driven by stable market conditions and positive contributions from acquisitions.

Revenue for the quarter reached SEK 2,473 million, up 9.8% from the same period last year, exceeding the Factset analyst consensus of SEK 2,456 million. The organic sales growth was primarily driven by a 3% increase in revenue from the United States, which contributed significantly to the overall performance.

The company's EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization) increased by 2.9% to SEK 432 million, compared to the expected SEK 420 million. This resulted in an EBITA margin of 17.5%, up from 17.1% in the previous period. Operating profit and profit before tax also saw significant increases, reaching SEK 378 million and SEK 343 million, respectively.

CEO Jörgen Wigh commented on the results, stating, "The first quarter (April-June 2025) provided a strong start to the 2025/26 financial year. Market conditions were generally stable, with positive organic growth and continued strong contributions from acquisitions." He also noted that the company's cash flow was healthy and that they continue to see an attractive acquisitions market.

Looking ahead, Lagercrantz remains cautiously optimistic despite geopolitical uncertainty. The company's strong financial position and resilience create room for further acquisitions. The Board of Directors has proposed an increased dividend of SEK 2.20 per share for the financial year.

For more details on the financial performance, the company will hold a presentation on July 18, 2025, at 10:00 CET, with CEO Jörgen Wigh and CFO Peter Thysell. Investors and financial professionals can participate via webcast or teleconference.
