Per-Johan Dahlgren, President & CEO, comments on the first quarter of 2024:
"Novedo starts 2024 with continued solid earnings and a good margin trend. Pro forma sales for R12 months amounted to SEK 2.9 billion, with an EBITA of SEK 313 million at the end of the quarter.

Net sales for the quarter increased by 12.8 percent, driven by acquisitions. Organic growth shows stability but has, to some extent, been negatively affected by Easter falling during the quarter and the fact that the winter period was somewhat longer and colder, which hampered demand for outdoor work.

Novedo sees a generally good order intake in the Group's three business segments: Industry, Infrastructure, and Installation & Services. Overall, Novedo is thus well equipped for solid and positive development as we advance."
