Statement by the President and CEO

“It is gratifying to see that the structural changes and efficiency measures that we implemented during the year are beginning to bear fruit in terms of positive effects on both our business and our results. The first stage of our transition has been successfully navigated and our journey of change to achieve our full potential is continuing. Rejlers Finland developed strongly during the third quarter and has shown further positive organic growth. The reorganisation in Sweden has resulted in the business now being based around industries and customer segments, rather than regions, which over time will lead to a more customer-led Rejlers. The merger of our Norwegian operations gives us an opportunity to focus on the areas where we see the greatest potential for growth in the future. Overall, we now have a more stable platform and a clear organisation to gradually strengthen both our market position and our profitability”, says Viktor Svensson, President and CEO, Rejlers AB.
