President and CEO Peter Wallin comments:
“Market conditions are continuing to improve compared to previous year, but recovery to normal conditions will take time. It is gratifying that the key German market reported stable earnings with increased profitability while it will take time before the Swedish and Finnish market turns. A strong cash flow for the period continued to decrease the net debt. We are increasing production starts from a low level, and are seeing many opportunities for gradually increasing production starts in second half of 2024 and 2025.”
