CEO, ROGER JOHANSSON COMMENTS

AN EVENTFUL 2015 ENDS WITH A STRONG QUARTER

“The positive trend we experienced in the third quarter of 2015 continued into the fourth quarter. We had organic growth of 9% and an improved EBIT margin.

Our initial public offering on November 25 gave us a significantly stronger balance sheet, allowing us the financial flexibility to make strategic investments. We have set our financial targets and we have a roadmap of initiatives to continue to implement our strategy. In light of this and the current conditions of our markets, we remain confident for 2016.”
