An update from Byggmax Group AB ( (SE:BMAX) ) is now available.
Byggmax Group AB, a Nordic discount building materials retailer with a drive-in store concept, reported softer first-quarter trading in what is traditionally its low season, but underlined a solid balance sheet and scalable business model. The company continues to refine a customer-centric, data-driven approach and expand its product range to capture profitable growth within its existing store network.
Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 fell 5.3 percent to SEK 880 million as cold February weather delayed the seasonal ramp-up, particularly hurting outdoor categories, while energy products outperformed. Despite lower sales and an EBIT loss of SEK 127 million, gross margins remained strong, cost control improved earnings per share year-on-year, and leverage dropped to 1.1x, leaving Byggmax well positioned for the summer season.
Management focused the quarter on preparing for the high season by building inventory, aligning staffing and launching a new customer programme under the “No fuss, just build” concept to enhance loyalty and relevance. The group is also stepping up use of customer analytics, automation and segmented communication while rolling out new ranges in machine accessories, shelving, own-brand irrigation, sliding door systems and upgraded flooring to boost volumes and profitability over time.
