Pre-recorded statement from president and CEO

Pre-recorded statement (in Swedish) by President and CEO Henrik Perbeck for Beijer Alma’s Annual General Meeting March 25, 2020.

Extract from President and CEO Henrik Perbeck’s statement at the Annual General Meeting.

“Looking at the economic situation in general, the slowdown at the end of last year also marked the early part of 2020. Added to this is the impact that the coronavirus outbreak has had on countries and markets across the globe. This has also affected Beijer Alma, primarily our operations in China, where production was shut down for a couple of weeks. The corona pandemic did not have any material negative impact on operations, income and earnings in January and February. It is, however, very difficult to predict developments moving forward and there is a risk that there will be a deterioration in market conditions. Beijer Alma is therefore taking measures to strengthen our preparedness and increase our flexibility.

To summarize, Beijer Alma is on a stable footing. We are financially strong and have a robust business model, which provides an effective diversification of risk and paves the way for future growth opportunities. As I said previously, I would like to emphasis that in our work we are focusing on areas that we can influence and areas where it is important to maintain readiness. This applies even more so now when the focus for the immediate future is on addressing the uncertainty surrounding us.”
