Outlook for the financial year 2026 The Board of Directors has previously estimated that higher energy prices and weaker performance in the Group's associated companies would result in income before taxes for the 2026 financial year being lower than in 2025 . Due to the continued high energy prices and their impact on the Group's cost base , the Board of Directors now estimates that income before taxes for the 2026 financial year will be below previous expectations and significantly lower than in 2025 .
