Anders Roslund's questions to ABBN.SW leadership • Q1 2025
Question
An analyst from ABG Sundal Collier questioned the thought process behind pursuing a spin-off for the Robotics division rather than a trade sale, and whether the company would be open to acquisition offers.
Answer
CEO Morten Wierod explained that a spin-off allows current shareholders to participate directly in the value creation of a pure-play robotics leader. While a listing is the primary plan, he affirmed the company's obligation to consider any option that may arise. CFO Timo Ihamuotila added that a trade sale is more straightforward when a clear industry consolidator exists, which is not necessarily the case here.
