Ambea AB ( (SE:AMBEA) ) has shared an announcement.
Ambea reported a strong first quarter of 2026, with net sales up 16 per cent to SEK 4,220 million, driven by 4 per cent organic growth and 13 per cent acquired growth, while adjusted EBITA rose 24 per cent to SEK 380 million, lifting the margin to 9.0 per cent. Earnings per share increased by more than 40 per cent, although cash conversion and free cash flow declined year-on-year.
The group continued to expand its footprint, as Validia acquired Finnish child welfare provider Sauma Lastensuojelupalvelut Oy, adding SEK 118 million in annual revenue and strengthening its position in youth services in Finland. Ambea also signed contracts to establish five new nursing homes under Vardaga and Altiden with openings planned from 2028 and completed a share buyback of 2 million shares, signalling confidence in its financial position and long-term growth prospects.
