An announcement from MilDef Group AB ( (SE:MILDEF) ) is now available.

MilDef reported a strong first quarter of 2026, with order intake soaring 169% to SEK 1,085 million and net sales more than doubling to SEK 708 million, driven by both robust organic growth and contributions from acquisitions. The order backlog climbed 46% to SEK 4,051 million, while adjusted EBITA jumped to SEK 121.6 million and free cash flow swung to SEK 159 million, underscoring improved profitability and capital efficiency.

To meet continued high demand, the company is expanding its Helsingborg headquarters and production facilities by 6,000 square meters, a move that should strengthen future delivery capacity and consolidate its position in the growing defense technology market.
