BTS Group AB (publ) announces earnings update for the second quarter and lowered outlook for 2025
P R E S S R E L E A S E Stockholm, August 4, 2025 BTS Group AB (publ) announces earnings update for the second quarter and lowered outlook for 2025 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - BTS Group AB (publ), a leading global consultancy specializing in strategy execution, change, and people development, today announces an earnings update for the second quarter 2025. The company is expected to report net sales of approximately SEK 720 (730) and an EBITA of SEK 85 (110) in the second quarter. As a consequence, the outlook for 2025 has changed from a better EBITA than last year to the company anticipating a worse EBITA than last year. The deviation in profit stems entirely from BTS North America, which is experiencing negative revenue growth, mainly due to inefficient go-to-market and sales operations. Additionally, the current unfavorable USD exchange rate as well as severance and other one-time costs in the quarter have contributed to the reduced results. A program to get back to growth of revenue and profit in North America has been implemented, with new leadership of BTS North America, a new strategy and organization for marketing and sales. BTS Other Markets, BTS Europe, and the previously acquired executive coaching business of Boda in North America are continuing to show healthy growth of revenues and EBITA.

3 Types of Executive Team Dysfunction
Details Transcript CEOs get a ton of credit or blame for a company's performance. But the entire leadership team is vital to success, and any dysfunction is often overlooked. Sometimes the CEOs leading them don't even see that they're not working. Thomas Keil, management professor at the University of Zurich, and Marianna Zangrillo, a partner at The Next Advisors, have interviewed more than 100 CEOs and senior executives. Their research identifies three main types of failing leadership teams: shark tanks, petting zoos, and mediocracies. And they identify the pitfalls of each pattern and how to turn those teams around. Keil and Zangrillo wrote the HBR article ' Why Leadership Teams Fail.' Key episode topics include: leadership, teams, strategy execution, decision making and problem solving, managing people, change management
