The earnings call reflects a mixed sentiment. While Thule reported significant achievements such as overall revenue growth, a record gross margin, and success with the Quad Lock acquisition, these are counterbalanced by challenges in the North American market, negative cash flow, and a reduced EBIT margin. The company has taken steps to address these challenges, but the balance of highlights and lowlights suggests a cautious outlook.
Company Guidance -
Q1 2025
During the Thule Q1 2025 call, several key metrics were shared indicating the company's performance and strategic direction. Sales increased by 10% despite a weak North American market, with organic growth showing a decline of 3%. North America saw a 13% drop, while Europe remained flat, largely influenced by cautious consumer and retailer behavior after U.S. tariffs were announced. Gross margin reached a record high of 44.8%, although EBIT margin fell to 15.1%, nearly two percentage points lower than the previous year. The EBIT for the quarter was SEK 401 million, slightly down from SEK 412 million last year. Cash flow from operations was negative SEK 334 million, attributed to seasonal working capital patterns. Thule aims to reduce inventory by SEK 200 million in 2025. The acquired Quad Lock business contributed significantly to the gross margin increase, with its sales momentum continuing strongly. Changes in North America, including a new sales organization and product focus, are underway to improve competitiveness. Thule announced a 10% price increase in North America effective June 1, aiming to offset tariff impacts. The company remains committed to its long-term growth strategy, targeting SEK 20 billion in sales and a 20% EBIT margin by 2030.
