  • Net sales rose 3 percent, to SEK 817 million (790).
  • Operating profit (EBIT) rose 38 percent, to SEK 95 million (69).
  • The operating margin equalled 11.6 percent (8.7).
  • Profit after tax advanced 37 percent, to SEK 65 million (47).
  • Earnings per share equalled SEK 1.24 (0.90).
  • Cash flows from operating activities totalled SEK 55 million (72).

Gerald Engström, President and CEO, comments:

"We are satisfied with our first quarter. Growth returned, and profitability improved significantly. Volumes grew about 6 percent, though it was not apparent in sales figures because of the appreciation of the Swedish krona.  The operating margin improved, thanks to larger volumes and efficiency enhancements put in place.

"We are also satisfied to have completed three acquisitions during the first quarter - in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Greece - that will support our ongoing growth in Europe. We are well equipped for further growth through the investments made in production plant, product development and marketing."
