Report this content

“Very largely, the third quarter featured strong profit performance and eWork’s move into the engineering consultant segment. The start-up of our new MSP deal with ABB Sweden is a major undertaking, where we’ve now made a positive start to consultant deliveries. Simultaneously, sales and order intake were up by 34%.”

Abstract from the Commentary of the President and CEO, Zoran Covic

Third quarter 2014 compared with 2013

  • Net sales increased by 34% to SEK 1,041.9 million (775.8).

  • Operating profit increased by 80% to SEK 10.8 million (6.0).

  • Order intake was SEK 1,138 (845), up 30%.

  • Profit after tax per share after dilution was SEK 0.48 (0.28).

  • eWork commenced a large-scale collaboration with ABB Sweden, and secured new framework agreements from Kammarkollegiet (the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency) and the City of Gothenburg.

  • Market seasonality was unusually protracted after the summer, but was offset by a brisk conclusion to the quarter. eWork’s demand indicators continue to point towards a cautious positive tendency for the remainder of the year.

First nine months 2014 compared with 2013

  • Net sales increased by 25% to SEK 3,324.9 million (2,661.9).

  • Operating profit increased to SEK 36.7 million (33.3).

  • Profit per share after dilution was SEK 1.67 (1.52).

  • eWork judges that it continued to win market share throughout the period, mainly because of growth on MSP contracts, but also due to a higher transaction frequency on competitive tenders.
