Kamux operates in the automotive industry. The company offers sales of used cars and related services within service, insurance and loan financing. Sales are made via the company's physical stores but also via the e-commerce platform. The largest operations are in the Nordic market. The company was founded in 2003 and has its headquarters in Hämeenlinna.

Well, in Q4 2024, the adjusted operating profit was €0.7M, now Inderes’ expectations are €2.8M if the €8M presented in that quote for the full year is still valid. The company’s own guidance is very loose: “adjusted operating profit decreases from the previous year,” to achieve which, any result from the last quarter is sufficient.

Now that the “earnings warning weeks” are upon us, a small recap. Inderes expects a slight improvement from Kamux in Q4/25 vs. Q4/24.  On Saturday, I was at an evening gathering where there were also several highly knowledgeable individuals from the car industry. They claimed that Kamux in Finland is 5-10% ahead in units compared to last year’s Q4, as is also expected. What the entire Kamux has achieved in Q4 and what profit has been made will only be seen in February. But Kamux’s Q4/25 should be well within the expected range so far. I myself do not expect an earnings warning anymore this December…

Given that Chinese cars are quite popular judging by export figures, Kamux also needs to seriously consider its approach to them. BYP reportedly trades well on the market, but many used Chinese cars are a bit touch-and-go… Indeed, for some brands, the import organization and spare parts service are modest. Trump’s anguish over the poor export success of American cars is not unfounded.

Hedin’s Q3 figures today. Used car revenue grew by 5% and growth was seen in all markets. Profit, however, is in the red, apparently still mainly due to electric car buyback commitments and perhaps more generally due to electric car pricing.  In addition, Wetteri announced new targets yesterday, aiming to double the size of its used car business in the coming years, so competition appears to remain tough (here’s Thomas’s comment)

The management roulette continues in Sweden. This time, however, it seems to be of the person’s own volition, and the reasons have been explained in the announcement, so there’s probably no need to worry about Sweden’s Q4 development based on this. Still, it certainly doesn’t make turning things around easier when managers change once a year. Kempas started at the beginning of this year.

Now that Kamux is apparently starting to buy back its own shares today, one must be careful not to dump one’s own shares into the market when demand for the share slightly improves. I also looked at Kamux’s Q3 materials, interviews, etc., and this is a classic case of running aground and being in a deadlock. I have encountered the exact same thing in my own professional life. That is, someone far from the customer interface decides that the margin (usually some margin percentage or unit price) will be significantly adjusted and an overly challenging target is set. The end result is that the topline suffers, and then both the margin and operating profit in euros decrease when deals are not made due to poor price competitiveness. Fixed costs continue their course, and in Kamux’s case, there are simply more of them per completed car sale. Even in Kamux’s case, the gross margin per car had improved, but the most important thing, the bottom line, suffered badly. Now Kalliokoski explained that Kamux needs to be steered with big movements of the wheel, well, now at least the front end crashed into the inner bank. Pajuharju was accustomed to Harvia’s pricing power, but Kamux DOES NOT have similar. Used car dealers sell the same products, and their prices are easy to compare.

Yes, in Q2-Q3 the focus was specifically on profitability at the expense of volume. That did improve the gross margin, but so much volume was lost that operating profit still weakened. Indeed, there have been quite a few management changes and various inventory “adjustments” made in recent years. As I wrote in the report, Kalliokoski did not, in my opinion, offer any new ways to achieve profitable growth now.
