Updated business strategy building on AFRY’s strengths

AFRY has updated the business strategy to improve profitability and position AFRY as a leader in the sustainability transition.

The updated strategy builds on AFRY’s strengths and is based on six pillars.

• Scale globally in decarbonisation, energy and biobased materials
• Strengthen position and profitability in infrastructure
• Grow Nordic industrial and digital portfolio, expand internationally in niches
• Increase client value
• Be the employer of choice
• Drive operational excellence

Financial targets reiterated

The current financial targets are reiterated and will apply over a business cycle.

– Annual growth of 10 percent. The target includes add-on acquisitions.
– An EBITA margin of 10 percent (excluding items affecting comparability)
– Net debt in relation to EBITDA of 2.5

To support the EBITA margin development, we target the Infrastructure Division to reach a 9-11 percent EBITA margin within the next three years.

Introducing quarterly order backlog

To further increase the transparency, AFRY will disclose the order backlog on a quarterly basis. By the end of 2022 the order backlog was strong and amounted to SEK 19.4 billion, supporting further growth.
