The company said adjusted EBITDA rose 15.1 percent to SEK 146.1 million. The figures appeared in the company's interim report published on November 11, 2026.
Picadeli's First Report Under New Name
The results are the first interim report published under the Picadeli Group name, which the company adopted from Greenfood AB. For the first nine months of 2026, net sales increased 9.7 percent to SEK 2,548.7 million from SEK 2,322.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA grew 19.2 percent to SEK 337.7 million from SEK 283.4 million.
Adjusted Cash EBITDA rose 16.4 percent to SEK 131.6 million from SEK 113.1 million. Leverage adjusted for capitalized leases fell to 2.7x from 3.9x, which the company attributed to organic EBITDA growth, strong operating cash flows and debt reduction from the Fresh Produce divestment.
