"Once again, we delivered a very strong quarter. EBIT amounted to 945 MSEK (836), which in terms of results is our best second quarter to date and represents an increase of 13 percent compared with the corresponding quarter previous year. At the same time, the EBIT margin improved to 16.5 percent (14.8). Our sales prices are lower compared to both the first quarter this year and compared to the corresponding quarter previous year as a result of lower prices on our main raw materials. The sales for the quarter as a total was in line with the corresponding quarter previous year. Included in the sales for HEXPOL Group are positive effects from acquisitions and positive currency effects. The operating cashflow was strong in the quarter with 1,048 MSEK (642).

We believe that our strong customer focus in combination with our geographical closeness to our customers gives us continued opportunities to deal with the disruptions and further strengthen the market position. The strong business model in combination with a clear acquisition strategy and strong financial position give us good conditions for continued growth and acquisitions."
