BE Group’s operating result for the third quarter 2022 is estimated to SEK 40 M

BE Group’s operating result for the third quarter 2022 has been negatively affected by the situation in the surrounding world. The Group’s net sales is expected to amount to approximately SEK 1,514 M (1,375) and the underlying operating result is expected to amount to approximately SEK 67 M (193). The operating result including inventory gains and losses is expected to amount to approximately SEK 40 M (219). Decreased volume and high costs for incoming material contributes to lower margins and thus a weaker result for the third quarter. A trend that, for the time being, is expected to continue during the fourth quarter.

For the first nine months, the Group’s net sales is expected to amount to approximately SEK 5,403 M (3,878) and the underlying operating result is expected to amount to approximately SEK 538 M (394). The operating result including inventory gains and losses is expected to amount to approximately SEK 537 M (463), which means that 2022 in total have good possibility to become another strong year in terms of result.
