Continued weak demand for a couple of platforms
We can look back on a first quarter in which the results came in slightly below our own expectations. Net sales for the quarter decreased by 8 percent, while EBITA fell to SEK 90 (159) million. Salix Group and S:t Eriks continue to be affected by a weak construction industry and Communication by the slower rollout of the 5G network. We do not expect the construction industry or the pace of the 5G network rollout to change in the near future. However, completed acquisitions and implemented cost programmes will have a positive impact in the coming quarters.
Structurally, Volati is in very good shape and when market conditions improve, our platforms will be well positioned to gradually reverse the decline in earnings in recent years. We also continue to see significant opportunities for value-creating add-on acquisitions. Overall, this means that we are confident in our long-term financial targets.
