Hexatronic: Weak Demand for FTTH Gear Drives Disappointing Q2 Results, Performance Enhancement Scheme Announced

Hexatronic Group experienced a disappointing Q2 in 2025, with their preliminary net sales reported at approximately SEK 1,906 million, a dip from the previous SEK 2,024 million. Likewise, EBITA dropped from SEK 222 million to roughly SEK 169 million. This slump is primarily driven by the Fiber Solutions business area, which struggled with sluggish demand for Fiber yTo The Home (FTTH) equipment and growing price pressures due to industry overcapacity.

To combat this, Hexatronic has launched a performance improvement program within Fiber Solutions, aimed at enhancing cost savings and catalysing investments in selectively targeted growth areas. The incoming CEO of Hexatronic Group, Rikard Fröberg, stated that the improvement scheme will augment productivity and incite growth in other sectors. Further details of this strategy will be unveiled in an Investor Update in September.

By the end of Q2 2025, the Group’s net debt, with IFRS 16 omitted, remained stable at roughly 1.9x EBITDA. Hexatronic will release its complete half-year report, inclusive of commentary on progress and development, on Monday, July 14, 2025.
