Financial risk management

Rugvista Group AB is exposed to a number of financial risks, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management objective is to manage uncertainty in financial markets and to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The most significant financial risks are described below.

CURRENCY RISK

The Group’s operations are primarily conducted in Sweden, and SEK is the functional currency. Transaction exposure refers to the risk that affects the Group’s profit and cash flows as a result of changes in exchange rates impacting inflows and outflows denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group does not apply hedge accounting; however, it actively seeks to match inflows and outflows in foreign currencies to the extent possible.

The net exposure in significant foreign currencies, defined as sales less purchases per currency, is presented below:

SEK million 2025 2024
EUR (euro) 136 108
GBP (British pound sterling) 64 64
DKK (Danish krone) 41 47
CHF (Swiss franc) 48 40
NOK (Norwegian krone) 42 34
PLN (Polish zloty) 32 31
USD (US dollar) -103 -94

Exposure to foreign currencies gives rise to currency risk. For 2025, with all other variables held constant, a 10% change in exchange rates for each currency would affect profit before tax by the following amounts:

Sensitivity analysis (SEK million) 2025 2024
EUR (euro) +/- 13.6 +/- 10.8
GBP (British pound sterling) +/- 6.4 +/- 6.4
DKK (Danish krone) +/- 4.1 +/- 4.7
CHF (Swiss franc) +/- 4.8 +/- 4
NOK (Norwegian krone) +/- 4.2 +/- 3.4
PLN (Polish zloty) +/- 3.2 +/- 3.1
USD (US dollar) +/- -10.3 +/- 9.4
INTEREST RATE RISK

As the Group has repaid all borrowings from credit institutions, the remaining exposure to interest rate risk relates only to lease liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16. Consequently, the Group’s interest rate risk is considered to be low.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from a counterparty’s failure to meet its contractual obligations.

The Group offers its customers payment and financing solutions via payment service providers, and the credit risk is primarily related to receivables from these providers. When customers make purchases on credit, the Group does not bear the associated credit risk.

Receivables from payment service providers are typically settled within 3–5 days.

The Group has not recognised any loss allowance for expected credit losses, as the credit risk is assessed to be insignificant.

LIQUIDITY RISK AND CASH FLOW RISK

The Group’s cash flows are subject to a certain degree of seasonality. The Group prepares cash flow forecasts to ensure sufficient liquidity.

The table below presents the contractual maturities (undiscounted cash flows) of the Group’s financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities 1 year 2-5 years After five years Expected cash flow for 2026
