The sales beat was driven by higher sampling cup sales than expected, which we expected to come down more ahead of low Q4 production volumes.

The rising USD will also contribute positively. There is n</font>ear-term weakness from the previously announced 0.5m EE programme shutdown which started in September and 10-20% volume reductions from most EU and NA OEMs within commercial vehicles, as end-customer demand has softened. The installation outlook is however very strong, with SEK 9m of system orders in Q3 alone, compared to the historical annual average of 8m. This combined with the other ramping programmes makes us confident in stronger '25 growth.</p><h3 class="bm-h3"><font color="#000000">Valuation</font></h3><p><font color="#000000">The share has returned 0% L3M (vs. peer median +2.1% and OMXSALLS +6.1%), and is currently trading at 23x-15x '24e-'26e P/E on our pre-report estimates vs. the historical median of 26x-15x.</font></p></td></tr></table><a id="bm-comp-6f86bd8f-9b1b-4053-8f97-477e98bfc433" name="bm-comp-6f86bd8f-9b1b-4053-8f97-477e98bfc433" class="BMCustomAnchor"></a><table><tr><td bm-component-id="6f86bd8f-9b1b-4053-8f97-477e98bfc433" style="vertical-align: top; width:100.000000%;"><table id="bm-img-970f2320-6e54-459e-98af-b6e86f244050" class="bm-img-table xslt-img-empty xslt-img-include"><tr><td class="xslt-img-caption">Deviation table</td></tr><tr><td><img bm-img-encrypt="970f2320-6e54-459e-98af-b6e86f244050" bm-img-original-height="626" bm-img-original-width="524" bm-img-svg="image:image_upload/83109_e0c58665-7654-45e1-b139-12eacb38ee9b.svg" bm-img-width-hint="72.08%" id="bm-id-970f2320-6e54-459e-98af-b6e86f244050" src="https://abgsc.bluematrix.com/images/image_upload/83109_e0c58665-7654-45e1-b139-12eacb38ee9b_524.png" svg="/nas/web/clients/abgsc/images/image_upload/83109_e0c58665-7654-45e1-b139-12eacb38ee9b.svg" width="524" alt="" title="" /></td></tr><tr><td class="xslt-img-source">Source: ABG Sundal Collier Estimates, Company Data</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
