Risks and uncertainties

AddLife’s earnings and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by various internal factors within AddLife’s control and various external factors over which AddLife has limited influence. AddLife’s most significant external risks are the state of the economy and market trends combined with public sector contracts and policy decisions, as well as competition. The risks and uncertainties are the same as in previous periods. For more information, see the section “Risks and uncertainties” in the administration report, in AddLife’s annual report 2024. The parent company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.

The geopolitical situation in Ukraine and the Middle East has not had any significant economic impact on the financial reports, but it cannot be ruled out that it may do so in the future. With approximately 90 percent of sales and 80 percent of purchases in Europe, AddLife should not be heavily exposed to tariffs and trade barriers by the USA or by other countries as countermeasures. However, there is a risk that subcontractors and components further down the supply chain may be subject to tariffs or trade barriers. We are closely monitoring market developments regarding inflation, tariffs and trade barriers, raw material, component and freight costs, as well as interest rate trends.
