An update from Balco Group AB ( (SE:BALCO) ) is now available.
Balco Group AB reported first-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK 299 million, down 5% year-on-year, with adjusted operating profit roughly at break-even and profitability still below targets despite some improvement. Order intake was stable at SEK 270 million while the order backlog climbed more than 20%, supported by stronger renovation demand, even as new build operations, particularly in Finland, continued to weigh on margins.
Cash flow strengthened markedly, with operating cash flow rising to SEK 32 million, reflecting better working capital management in an otherwise challenging earnings environment. Management highlighted increasing activity in the renovation segment in Sweden and Norway and continued potential in the UK and German markets, but warned that geopolitical uncertainty, cost inflation and weak new build conditions are prolonging the recovery and forcing ongoing cost cuts and structural efficiency measures.
The company is acting to improve underperforming units through further cost adjustments and enhanced project management, while also integrating its Finnish glazing offering to broaden its product range in Germany and other markets. Balco’s financial position remains within agreed covenant waivers, and the enlarged order backlog provides some visibility, though timing of larger projects and the external macro environment continue to create uncertainty for shareholders and other stakeholders.
