CONTINUED STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH AND IMPROVED CASH FLOW
Revenue and earnings continued to improve during the third quarter. Net sales increased by 5.4 percent to MSEK 182.7 (173.3), and operating profit (EBITA) by 27.4 percent to MSEK 12.6 (9.9) compared to the same quarter last year. Cash flow from operating activities improved to MSEK 6.1 (-10.3), which, in addition to the increased operating profit, is mainly due to changes in working capital.
The strong growth despite the economic downturn is proof of the effect of the group’s increased focus on the development of existing holdings and on the strategy of investing in stable companies with low cyclical dependence. The revenue increase in the quarter is attributable to the segments Property Services and Healthcare, while the improvement in earnings was primarily generated by the segments Industry and Property Services.
