Q1 2025 sales amounted to SEK 300 million, down 13% year-over-year, with EBITDA at minus SEK 13 million; order intake was SEK 334 million, below last year, impacted by a soft March and weakening market conditions.
Retail sales increased by 15% to SEK 57 million, driven by higher sales of premium own-brand boats and services; order intake in retail continued its positive trend, with the order book reaching its highest level since Q1 2023.
Commercial sales dropped 17%, mainly due to declines in "rest of world" markets and the ongoing exit from the value boat segment in the Nordics; Europe showed recovery with stronger order intake, while North America softened.
Inventory levels remain high due to seasonality and unexpected sales drops in commercial sales, particularly in the Nordics and US; management expects significant inventory reduction but timing is uncertain due to market unpredictability.
Financial targets remain unchanged despite being behind; OpEx improved by 12% year-over-year, and gross margin held steady at 12.3%, though still affected by low production volumes and inventory reduction campaigns.
