Nimbus Group AB (publ) decreased its sales by 18 percent to MSEK 623 (756) during the second quarter 2024. EBITA amounted to MSEK 45 (83) and the EBITA margin to 7.2 percent (11.0). “The second quarter was characterized by a wait-and-see attitude in several major markets which had a negative effect on both sales and profitability. The quarter contained some bright spots however, including increasing market share for the Nimbus brand in the premium segment in the North American market and the first signs that the Nordic market may have bottomed out”, says Jan-Erik Lindström, CEO of Nimbus Group.
