Studsvik AB: Studsvik's Interim Report for the First Quarter 2026

A stable financial quarter with continued investments for the future

First quarter

  • Sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 226.4 (227.0) million. In local currencies this is an increase of 4.1 per cent. The increase was mainly driven by Studsvik Scandpower, which grew by 16.6 per cent in local currencies. 
  • Operating profit decreased in the quarter to SEK 12.3 (19.5) million. The operating margin for the quarter was 5.4 (8.6) per cent.
  • Free cash flow for the quarter was SEK -12.5 (39.6) million. The lower cash flow is primarily driven by accrual effects, in addition some large advance payments were received in Q4 2025.

Events during the quarter

  • Studsvik announced the acquisition of Kärnfull Next AB. The transaction, which is expected to be completed in May, expands Studsvik's scope from mainly providing technical products and services to support existing nuclear facilities into the development of new nuclear projects.
  • In March, following the announcement of the acquisition of Kärnfull Next, they submitted a historic application to establish an SMR campus in Valdemarsvik, on the southeast coast of Sweden. This is the first application for new nuclear power on a new location in Sweden for over 50 years.
  • A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with Rolls-Royce SMR.  The aim is to explore further collaboration across Studsvik's full range of services to support the small modular reactor (SMR) programme being developed by Rolls-Royce SMR.
  • During the quarter Studsvik also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Novatron Fusion Group, with the purpose to support Novatron with Studsvik's products and services.
