Financial Performance Overview: In Q2 2025, SKF reported net sales of MSEK 23,166, a decline from the previous year, with organic growth at -0.2%. The adjusted operating profit decreased to MSEK 3,090 due to currency headwinds, but the adjusted operating margin improved to 13.3%.
Market Outlook and Strategic Actions: Despite challenging market conditions in the Automotive sector, particularly for non-electric vehicles, SKF's Industrial segment showed growth. The company is undergoing rightsizing measures, reducing approximately 1,200 positions to enhance competitiveness, while expecting stable organic sales in Q3 2025 amidst uncertain economic conditions.
