KH Group announced on Tuesday that CEO Carl Haglund has decided to step down. His departure does not in itself surprise us, as he originally described his role at KH Group as a temporary project. The handover will come slightly earlier than we expected, however. In our view, the turnaround progressed convincingly during Haglund’s short tenure, in which the company, among other things, divested Indoor Group, which had weighed on the group, and streamlined its group structure. The news prompts no changes to our estimates.
Haglund will remain CEO for up to six months or until a successor is found, and will also continue as Chair of the Board of subsidiary Nordic Rescue Group. Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see whether KH Group looks for an entirely new CEO, or whether Tuomas Myllynen, who took over as CEO of KH-Koneet, could also take on the role of CEO of the parent company. Given KH Group’s small size and now simpler group structure, we believe this would be quite a well-founded solution.
