Saab's Q2 2025 Results: Accelerating Growth and Strengthening Market Position

Saab has recently unveiled its financial performance for the first half of 2025, revealing a remarkable momentum in both order intake and sales growth. Micael Johansson, the President and CEO of Saab, commented on the results, stating, "We are strengthening our market position and see a continued large interest in our products and solutions."

Key Highlights of Q2 2025

Saab reported an order intake of SEK 28,403 million for the second quarter, a significant increase from SEK 39,574 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily fueled by robust demand for small and medium-sized orders, indicating a thriving interest within the defense sector.
Sales for the quarter reached SEK 19,786 million, compared to SEK 15,170 million a year earlier. This translated to an impressive organic sales growth rate of 32%, up from 21% in the previous year. The company's various business segments all highlighted significant sales increases, with the Dynamics segment experiencing an extraordinary 73% growth.

Financial Metrics

The operational performance continued to demonstrate strong profitability. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) climbed to SEK 2,831 million, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 14.3%. This is an improvement over last year's margin of 12.9%. Additionally, the Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) surged by 49%, amounting to SEK 1,977 million, yielding a 10.0% margin, showing an increase from 8.8%.

With regards to net income, it rose to SEK 1,536 million, equating to earnings per share of SEK 2.83, which reflects a 53% year-on-year increase. Operational cash flow was reported at SEK -1,136 million compared to SEK -2,251 million from the previous year, primarily due to ongoing investments aimed at expanding capacity. By the end of June, Saab's net liquidity position stood at SEK 690 million, a substantial recovery from SEK -2,354 million.

Looking Ahead

For the remainder of 2025, Saab anticipates achieving around 16-20% organic sales growth, up from a previous estimate of 12-16%. The company also aims to achieve EBIT growth that exceeds organic sales growth. Furthermore, Saab is confident in generating positive operational cash flow by year-end.

Saab continues to invest in building its capacity to support enduring demand from the defense sector while maintaining its commitment to delivering strong profitability. The company’s advancements in technology and a dedication to innovation play a crucial role in shaping its operational philosophy and competitive strategies in today's defense landscape.
