Gerald Engström, President and CEO, comments:
"Growth in our fourth quarter was 25 percent, with organic growth accounting for 8.4 percent. Our fourth quarter is normally our weakest in terms of profit, and that was again the case this year. Both operating profit and gross margin were adversely affected by new acquired companies, which was not entirely unexpected."
