As of February 1, 2026, the Swecon Division is no longer part of Lantmännen. The Swecon Division is classified as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5. The amounts and key figures presented refer to Lantmännen’s continuing operations, excluding the Swecon Division.

“I am very pleased that Lantmännen delivered a historically strong result for the four-month period and for the first eight months of the year. The performance was driven primarily by the Energy and Agriculture Divisions, while cost-savings, together with initiatives and investments, contributed to increased efficiency and profitability and a stronger competitive position,” says Magnus Kagevik, President and CEO of Lantmännen.

The figures below refer to operating income adjusted for items affecting comparability. The result for the corresponding period of the previous year is presented in parentheses.

The Agriculture Division’s operating income amounted to MSEK 571 (391), mainly driven by the Swedish agricultural operations and the efficient handling of the record harvest in 2025, as well as higher volumes in the feed business. Earnings improved in Lantmännen Agriculture Finland and Lantmännen Machinery following cost saving and restructuring measures. 

The Energy Division’s operating income amounted to MSEK 275 (53), primarily driven by Lantmännen Biorefineries, which benefited from a higher ethanol price. Lantmännen Aspen continued to develop positively, delivering a strong result.

The Food Division’s operating income was lower than in the previous year at MSEK 468 (519), mainly attributable to Lantmännen Unibake, which is facing a challenging market in Europe and a challenging cost environment. Lantmännen Cerealia reported higher earnings and Scan Sweden developed according to plan.

The Real Estate Division’s operating income improved to MSEK 161 (120).

“Uncertainty in the external environment and a changing climate are affecting agriculture in Europe. At the same time, there are significant opportunities to increase production in Swedish agriculture and food processing. Continued and closer cooperation between policymakers and the business community is needed to capitalize on these opportunities and strengthen Swedish food production and preparedness. With clear targets for increased production and competitive conditions, we can create a stronger foundation for profitable farming and a more resilient food supply. Lantmännen continues to support this development by making major investments throughout the value chain – from grain infrastructure to increased food production,” says Magnus Kagevik.
