“The second quarter 2024 continues as in the previous quarter with good profitability and high margins. In the quarter, sales amounted to 5,454 MSEK (5,727) and EBIT amounted to 911 MSEK (945). At the same time, we strengthened the EBIT margin to 16.7 percent (16.5) driven by good product and price mix and delivered a return on capital employed of 18.9 percent (18.9). Demand from our customers remains on the same level as we saw during the second half of 2023 and first quarter 2024 and sales prices are also stable.
We believe that our strong customer focus in combination with our geographical closeness to our customers gives us continued opportunities to deal with the disruptions and further strengthen the market position. The strong business model in combination with a clear acquisition strategy and strong financial position give us good conditions for continued growth and acquisitions.”
