Chart from the report itself:

Profitability is taking a hit from growth investments and a weaker dollar. Expenses are in krona.

Apparently demand is stable, but decision-making is slower. I have definitely heard this often. :smiley:

“Our pipeline remains stable, and we continue to see broad interest across our application areas. We have observed no structural loss of business but rather shifts in purchasing decisions and project timing. Accordingly, our efforts have focused on improving conversion rates and shortening lead times where possible, while maintaining quality and customer outcomes.”

Anyway, progress continues.
