Alcadon Group AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, Apr 29, 2026 Alcadon Group AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, Apr 29, 2026, at 10:00 W. Europe Standard Time. Location: kanter advokatbyra, engelbrektsgatan 3, stockholm Sweden Announcement • Jan 15
Alcadon Group AB (Publ) Decides to Discontinue the Operational Activities of Alcadon GmbH Alcadon Group has decided to discontinue the operational activities of Alcadon GmbH (Germany) and prioritise geographies and market segments with stronger gross margins and lower tied-up capital. The discontinuation will be completed in 2026 and affects two locally employed staff, who during the discontinuation period will focus on sell-out of remaining inventory. From December 2025, the German operations will be reported separately in Alcadon Group's income statement as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 and will therefore not be included in Alcadon Group's adjusted operating profit (EBITA adjusted) for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. The decision to discontinue the German operations is based on a long-term analysis of Alcadon Group's current operations in eight European countries within three main market segments: structured cabling, data centres and broadband. Since 2024, the European broadband market has changed significantly, with a clear decline in demand and, consequently, increased competition and pressure on margins. The reason for decreased demand is that several countries have now reached high levels of broadband-connected homes, while planned broadband rollouts in markets with lower degree of connected homes have stalled for various reasons. The current operations in Germany are heavily dependent on the broadband segment, and the changed market situation has had a negative impact on us, resulting in losses over a longer period. Over the past year, company have implemented both management changes and cost adjustments in Germany, while continued low demand has led to increased margin pressure to such an extent that the measures undertaken have not been sufficient. In addition, company have a challenge with large inventory levels of customer-specific products in Germany that are at risk of obsolescence. Although long-term assessment is that the broadband roll-out in Germany will continue and over time come on a par with other countries, the competition for broadband projects is predicted to be so fierce that company's current operations in Germany, with only one market segment to stand on, will not contribute to the Group's financial targets in the foreseeable future. Alcadon Group has therefore decided to discontinue its operations in Germany and prioritise geographies and market segments where company can achieve stronger gross margins with higher capital efficiency. At the same time, the remaining subsidiaries need to complete ongoing adjustments to new market conditions and continue their work on strengthening profitability in order to create long-term increased shareholder value.
