Customs duties and currency headwinds affect Getinge as Q4 orders and sales fall

Medical technology company Getinge reports lower order intake and sales in the fourth quarter compared with the same period last year. This comes as profit before tax rose from SEK 911 million to just over SEK 1.2 billion.

Currency movements from the strengthened krona and tariff effects have affected earnings development by just over one billion kronor, the company writes.

"In the short term, there is great uncertainty in the external environment, but based on underlying needs in the market, we expect organic sales growth of 3–5 percent for the full year 2026," writes CEO Mattias Perjos in the financial statements.

The board of directors proposes a dividend per share of SEK 4.75, an increase from SEK 4.60 the previous year.
