Outlook for the financial year 2026 The Board of Directors has previously assessed that the uncertainty regarding cost levels , energy prices and market developments has been such that the Company has not provided any forecast for the full - year 2026 result . The Board of Directors estimates that higher energy prices , both through their direct impact on the Group's cost base and their indirect impact on consumer demand , together with weaker performance in the Group's associated companies , will result in income before taxes for the 2026 financial year being lower than in 2025 .
