Profoto Holding AB ( (SE:PRFO) ) just unveiled an update.
Profoto Holding AB reported first-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK 149 million, down 9.5 percent year on year, as negative currency effects outweighed modest organic growth of 1 percent. The company, which supplies premium lighting systems for professional photography and imaging, maintained profitability through strict cost control, lifting its EBITDA margin to 24.1 percent from 19.2 percent and keeping EBIT flat at SEK 17 million despite weaker top-line development.
Profit for the period rose to SEK 12 million from SEK 3 million, while earnings per share increased to SEK 0.30, supported by improved margins rather than revenue expansion. Cash flow from operating activities fell to SEK 23 million from SEK 58 million and adjusted return on operating capital declined sharply to 7.3 percent, indicating efficiency pressures, but leverage remained moderate with net debt at SEK 167 million and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.54, suggesting a still-solid balance sheet in a challenging market.
