Strong earnings driven by high sales in the US and a strong dollar

“Substantial Nimbra Edge order is clear proof of our competitiveness in cloud.”

The solid growth seen in the first six months continued into the third quarter. We continue to report strong earnings, despite an increasingly uncertain market. The growth is driven by strong sales in region Americas, we delivered larger orders to two of our customers of which one includes delivery of equipment for the 2022 Football World Cup in Qatar. Due to the large proportion of USD in the sales for the quarter, both revenue and earnings benefited from a significant positive exchange rate effect compared with the same period year-on-year. Revenue and earnings from the new product area 5G synchronization also contributed to the strong sales and earnings.
