CEO´s comments

The market was very strong during the first quarter and the organic increase in sales amounted to 11 percent. A combination of continued high acquisition rate, good cost control and our companies having handled price increases from suppliers well has resulted in earnings growth of 31 percent with favourable margins. As a result of the strong market situation, all business areas enjoyed good development over the quarter, even when taking generally favourable comparisons into account. A very good start to the new year, concludes Niklas Stenberg, CEO.

Our decentralised model, where the companies' drive and proximity to customers and suppliers is absolutely crucial, and the fact that we hold very good positions in structurally driven areas of development, make me feel highly confident that Addtech will continue to generate profitable growth over the rest of the financial year. For the full CEO comment, please see the Interim Report.
