what happened

According to September 2026, Swedish technology group Sdiptech posted third-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK 1,309 million, compared with SEK 1,253 million a year earlier, an increase of 4%. Organic growth excluding currency effects was 13%. EBITA rose 14% to SEK 280 million, with a margin of 21.4% against 19.5%. Adjusted EBITA grew 8% to SEK 261 million, and the adjusted margin reached 20.0% versus 19.3%.

Profit before tax was SEK 158 million, compared with a loss of SEK 378 million a year earlier. Profit after tax came in at SEK 113 million against a loss of SEK 419 million, and earnings per share were SEK 2.96 versus a loss of SEK 11.14. The prior-year figure was weighed down by a SEK 500 million impairment of goodwill and surplus values. Operating cash flow was SEK 143 million (SEK 256 million), giving a cash conversion of 62% against 94%. The company repurchased SEK 550 million of sustainability-linked bonds, redeemed them early, and issued new senior secured bonds worth SEK 400 million. Two acquisitions were completed during the quarter: A.U.T, a supplier of castors for logistics use, and VALE Engineering in the UK, which makes equipment for road and infrastructure maintenance.

why it matters

On a rolling twelve-month basis, cash conversion stood at 81%, within the company's 70–90% ambition. Return on capital employed improved to 13.6% from 12.0% a year earlier and 13.2% in the previous quarter. Investors will watch organic growth and return on capital, while the lower quarterly cash conversion reflects seasonal inventory build-up and higher receivables.
