Accounting principles
From Ratos Interim report January-March 2026
Ratos’ consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and associated interpretations (IFRIC), as endorsed by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and applicable provisions in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company also applies RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Amounts are presented in SEK million (SEKm) unless otherwise stated. Rounding may apply in tables and calculations, which means that the stipulated total amounts are not always an exact amount of the rounded amounts.
The Group has changed its internal governance and organisation as of 1 January 2026. Segment reporting was previously based on business areas, where activities were followed up and reported on the basis of overall business segments. From 2026 and onwards, segment information will instead be reported by individual company within the Group. This change reflects the Group’s new strategic direction as an investment company, with governance and follow-up now taking place at the company level. Comparative figures have been restated in accordance with the new division of segments to enable comparability between periods. This change only affects the presentation of segment information and has no impact on the Group’s earnings, financial position or cash flows.
In all other respects, the reporting and measurement principles are unchanged compared with those applied in Ratos’ 2025 Annual Report.
The new and revised IFRS standards which came into force in 2026 have not had any material effect on Ratos Group’s financial statements.
Alternative performance measures*
To facilitate comparison between periods and enable follow-up of ongoing earnings and development in the company portfolio, Ratos presents some financial information, which is not defined in IFRS. Related information contains a description of these key ratios as well as a reconciliation / bridge between alternative key ratios used in Ratos's financial reports and the closest IFRS measures.
*) Reconciliation of alternative performance measures can be found in respectively period's interim report.
