Magnus Persson, CEO Bellman Group, comments:
The third quarter of the year proved stable for Bellman Group, with improvements in both revenue and operating income, despite the ongoing economic downturn. This can primarily be attributed to large infrastructure and industrial projects, some of which are related to the green transition. However, we observe that the market remains somewhat cautious, and we are still awaiting the positive impacts of recent and anticipated
interest rate cuts.
Quarterly net sales increased by 7.7 percent, of which 6.0 percent was organic growth. This growth was mainly driven by large industrial projects within our Nord and West business areas, due to the green transition. EBITA, before items affecting comparability, improved by 2.8 percent this quarter, with organic growth accounting for 5.1 percent. This was mainly due to business area North and the mentioned industrial projects, though the East business area also saw improvements thanks to a favorable operational mix.
In the coming years, we anticipate an improved market for our entire offering. However, we currently perceive the market as somewhat cautious and are still awaiting the positive effects of implemented and expected interest rate cuts. In the meantime, we remain focused on delivering our core value—managing complex infrastructure and industrial projects to achive the best results for our customers.With another stable quarter, we take yet another step forward on this journey.
