# Addnode Group Restructures Symetri as Autodesk Cycles Pressure Q2 Earnings

Addnode Group AB Class B ( ($SE:ANOD.B) ) has issued an announcement.

Addnode Group reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK 1,449 million, flat year-on-year but with organic decline once adjusted for a strong prior-year renewal cycle in three-year Autodesk agreements. Profitability weakened as EBITA fell to SEK 148 million and the margin dropped to 10.2 percent, while net profit slid to SEK 20 million and earnings per share to SEK 0.15, though cash flow from operating activities improved sharply.

The company executed a restructuring program in its Design Management division, centered on Symetri, to sharpen its focus on new sales and realize synergies after rapid international expansion, incurring SEK 28 million in costs but targeting annual savings of about SEK 100 million. Management highlighted stable underlying operations, improving margins in Process and Product Lifecycle Management, growing exposure to the defense sector, and expanding AI-driven offerings, positioning Addnode for continued efficiency gains and long-term profitable growth despite short-term headwinds from Autodesk contract cycles and compensation model changes.
