During the quarter, we closed several important deals with both new and existing clients. Two strategic global clients renewed their confidence in us, providing an exciting basis for more in-depth partnerships. We reached yet another milestone when we established operations in Slovakia, where we see tremendous potential for further growth. Furthermore, we have noted strong performance by our Total Talent Management offering, while our recruiting service has been well received by clients. The project relating to the new operating model has proceeded as planned, and though we saw a few early effects during the quarter, Q2 is where the full effects will be seen.

- Net sales decreased 1.9 percent to SEK 16,877 M (17,209).
- EBIT decreased 4.6 percent to SEK 185.7 M (194.7).

Outlook
The outlook remains unchanged, meaning that Ework anticipates that demand will gradually strengthen, and we will thus be able to show growth in late 2024. A decrease in sales is expected during the first half of the year as a result of lower demand and order intake, in line with our previous communications. A limited decrease in sales remains the forecast for full year 2024. After implemented cost reductions, and with a focus on increased value creation in our deliveries, we are seeing that we can gradually increase our business margins.
In line with our financial targets, we maintain our previous assessment that operating profit (EBIT) and earnings per share will increase by at least 30 percent for full-year 2024.
