Beijer Alma AB (publ)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this presentation of the Alma Second Quarter 2026. If you hear some strange noises around me, it's because I'm sitting in a sailboat in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It's old waves, but no wind.

That's why there are some strange noises.

Together with me is Peter Forslund, who is the CFO of Good morning, everybody. On this agenda, I will talk a bit about highlights from Q2, and then we'll talk about financial performance, then acquisitions, and finally, Q&A. And we increased our net revenue by 5% in this quarter, and we have adjusted the beta of 14%. If you look at the market, and we are working in many areas of the world, and we start in the United States where we are with Bay Components, it's been a good quarter, and we see a strong market in the United States. And as we are manufacturing springs, we are many many different customer segments but seems like in the first half here has been a strong market in the United States and it seems to continue that way if you go to Europe that means Europe excluding the Nordic it's been a much weaker market it's been stable but really no no no increase in the market and we have also still some problems to solve for Malcolm X that we work with and will be not solved probably before end of this year. In the Nordic region we have seen a smaller growth, stable market and also a slight growth general for the components and actually a nice growth organically for Bay Tech in the Nordic. If we go to Asia, where we have the spring business, it's been a stable business over the period. Then, specifically, we talk about Bayer Tech. It has been a very good quarter where we have made acquisitions, we have had organic growth, and we come back to that later on. It's been a good quarter, and I have some hope for the coming quarters in this year that will continue to be strong quarters for 2026. And by that, I give the word to Peter.
