Pär Svärdson, CEO, comments:

We are not satisfied with profitability in the fourth quarter. At the same time, for the full year 2025 we delivered solid growth and profitability and, through the establishment of the fulfilment centre in Varberg, we laid the foundation for long-term and scalable growth. With expanded capacity and a clear customer focus, we look forward to continuing to develop Apotea and delivering on our set targets.
