 Outlook

With our new operating model – which we announced in late January – in place, we are increasing our flexibility, efficiency, and scalability. We are reducing costs by approximately SEK 60 M annually, with full effect starting in the second quarter of 2024. Close-down expenses in combination with realized savings are expected to produce a relatively neutral effect in the first quarter. With a focus on increased value creation in our deliveries, we see that we can gradually increase our business margins. In light of this, we feel that operating profit for full- year 2024 will increase by at least 30 percent, in line with our financial targets.
