Ework Group AB reported a weak start to 2026, with first-quarter net sales down 13.9% to SEK 3.02 billion and gross profit down 12.7% to SEK 124.4 million, while maintaining a stable gross margin of 4.1%. The number of professionals on assignment fell to 9,207 from 10,850, reflecting softer client demand across its markets.

Operating profit was hit harder than revenue, dropping 59.2% to SEK 14 million, or SEK 23.4 million on an adjusted basis, as EBIT fell to 11.2% of gross profit from 24%. Order intake declined 12.1% to SEK 3.69 billion and diluted earnings per share fell to SEK 0.42, although improved net financial items slightly cushioned the bottom line, suggesting a tougher market but some strengthening in the company’s financial foundation.
