Gerald Engström, CEO, comments: 
"We recorded organic growth for the 17th successive quarter, although on this occasion it was a slim 2.4 percent. Profit was lower than anticipated, even if our fourth quarter normally is our weakest. Continued restructuring of Menerga's production and sales companies burdened earnings for the period. We sold the Company's shareholding in Lindab during the quarter, producing a capital gain of SEK 246 million, with the result that despite everything we recorded our strongest net result of all time."
