CEO´s comments
Overall, the new financial year is off to a good start, with high levels of activity and strengthened profitability across the board. Despite a certain uncertainty in the market, sales increased by 7 percent, 2 percent of which was organic. It is satisfying to see that our long-term initiatives to increase the value added in our offering, to strengthen the product mix and, not least, to increasingly focus on profitable acquisitions, gives effect with EBITA increasing 19 percent with a continued strong margin of 15.3 percent (13.7). Our international expansion is continuing as planned and the rate of acquisitions in the beginning of the year has been high with a total of seven acquisitions, of which five took place outside the Nordic region. Our entrepreneurial-driven companies are demonstrating their strength again, continuing to generate profitable growth in a challenging market.
