ASSA ABLOY Reports Strong Growth in Q3 2025
On October 21, 2025, ASSA ABLOY released its quarterly report for the third quarter of 2025, showcasing a robust performance marked by increased net sales and profitability. The company’s net sales for the quarter totaled SEK 38,146 million, reflecting a 2% growth from SEK 37,418 million in the previous year. This growth can be attributed to an organic growth rate of 3%, compared to the previous year’s zero, alongside a 5% increase from acquired net growth.
Despite facing challenges posed by fluctuating exchange rates—which negatively affected sales by 6%—ASSA ABLOY’s overall results demonstrate resilience. Commenting on the performance, President and CEO Nico Delvaux expressed satisfaction with the company's ability to achieve these results in a mixed market environment. The report highlighted strong organic sales growth particularly in the EMEIA region, Entrance Systems, Global Technologies, and the Americas, although Asia Pacific experienced a decline.
Key Financial Highlights
In addition to the sales figures, ASSA ABLOY's operating income (EBIT) rose by 3% to SEK 6,416 million, with the operating margin slightly improving to 16.8%. Meanwhile, net income also saw a healthy increase to SEK 4,144 million, translating to earnings per share of SEK 3.73, up from SEK 3.63 in the previous year.
The report further revealed that operating cash flow strengthened significantly, amounting to SEK 6,969 million, indicating effective cash management and increased operational efficiency.
Impacts of Acquisitions
During the third quarter, ASSA ABLOY completed five acquisitions with a combined annual sales value of about SEK 500 million. This strategic move aims to bolster the company’s product portfolio and enhance its technological capabilities. The acquisitions are fundamental to ASSA ABLOY's long-term growth strategy, allowing the company to tap into new markets and innovations.
Looking Ahead
As the company anticipates the final quarter of the year, the leadership is optimistic about sustaining growth. The electromechanical transition is emphasized as a driving force behind ASSA ABLOY’s strategy, focusing on trends that favor safety, security, and digitalization. The company is investing heavily in innovation while securing its mechanical solutions to maintain a competitive edge in the market.
Delvaux remarked, “Our consistent investments in innovation and acquisitions have positioned us well to navigate through mixed economic conditions and emerge stronger.”
