KB Components AB reported first-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK607 million, down from SEK766 million a year earlier, with organic growth of negative 14%, acquired growth of 4% and a currency effect of negative 3%. Adjusted EBITDA fell to SEK92 million from SEK113 million, a 13.7% margin versus 14.7%, while adjusted EBIT dropped to SEK45 million from SEK65 million, a 6.7% margin versus 8.5%, and adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.47 against $0.81. North America net sales fell to SEK272 million from SEK362 million, 41% of total net sales, with organic growth down 21% and adjusted EBIT margin of 3.2% versus 8.4%, while Europe net sales of SEK355 million, 52% of the total, were roughly flat and Asia net sales of SEK44 million, 7% of the total, held steady with 11% organic growth. The company completed the acquisition of Rabugino in Poland on May 7, adding approximately SEK200 million in turnover, and secured a three-year SEK1 billion credit facility with DNV plus a two-year extension option. Chief executive Magnus Andersson said KB Components does not expect to reach its 10% EBIT margin target in 2026, with 2027 as the ambition, and chief financial officer Michael Grindborn said the expanded financing setup makes two to three acquisitions per year fully possible.
