Wästbygg Posts 2025 Revenue of SEK 4bn and Operating Loss of SEK 283–468m Before 2026 Rights Issue and Q1 Turnaround

Wästbygg Gruppen has faced several difficult years marked by significant losses, lower volumes and restructuring. In full-year 2025 the group reported revenue of approximately SEK 3,999–4,023 million and an operating loss of SEK 283–468 million (depending on segment or IFRS reporting), impacted by one-off costs. The company completed a rights issue in early 2026 that raised about SEK 191 million and repaid bridge financing, while also redeeming its green bond early.

First-quarter 2026 already showed signs of improvement, with revenue of SEK 650 million, operating profit of SEK 40 million and an equity ratio of 40%. The second-quarter results continue this trajectory of narrower losses and stronger cash generation, even as overall volumes remain lower than peak years. The group operates through subsidiaries including Logistic Contractor, Wästbygg and Rekab, with a focus on construction, logistics and industrial projects across Sweden and the Nordics. Recent order wins in the industrial and logistics segments, including contracts worth hundreds of millions of kronor in Norway and Sweden, have supported the rise in order intake.

No formal full-year guidance was issued with the Q2 results.
