Comments by CEO Johan Hjertonsson:

• The Group’s best Q1 for orders received, sales and operating profit.
• The Group has increased the market shares in several important markets
• We have increased the order book by almost MSEK 100.
• The quarter includes two large orders in the UK amounting to MSEK 60, of which fifty percent has been invoiced in the first quarter.
• Retained strong gross margins.
• The share of LED solutions amounted to approximately 30 % during the quarter.
• We are of the opinion that the market will continue to improve during the year, but the upturn may be drawn out and will vary between markets.
• The acquisition of Arlight was completed in February but has not had any impact of profit for the quarter, as acquisition costs negate the operating profit.
