Significant events during and after the second quarter
- Continued strong performance with a record-high order backlog of SEK 4.0 billion, of which about SEK 1.5 billion pertains to projects that will be carried out during the second half of 2023.
- The negotiations with a major customer within Power in Finland have been finalised and Netel can now finalise ongoing framework agreements and adapt its organisation and ways of working for the Finnish power operations, which thereby have the prerequisites to become profitable. Netel made a reserve of MSEK 10 for these restructuring projects in the second quarter, which is considered sufficient.
- Netel has settled with a large fiber customer, which means that the customer has paid a total of SEK 70 million in compensation in the second quarter of 2023. The settlement also means that Netel and the customer continue their long-term collaboration. Through the settlement, the parties have reached an agreement and the dispute has ended.
- Jeanette Reuterskiöld was appointed acting President and CEO on 16 May 2023 after Ove Bergkvist stepped down from his role as President and CEO.
2023 indication
- Netel expects at least 10 per cent growth for the full-year 2023, which is line with the financial growth target.
- Netel expects an adjusted EBITA margin of 4.5–5.5 per cent for the full-year 2023. This means that profitability in the second half of the year is expected to approach the financial profitability target of an adjusted EBITA margin of above 7% in the medium term.
