Magnus Persson, CEO Bellman Group, comments:
During the second quarter of 2024, Bellman Group’s positive development has continued with both sales and earnings growth. Our business was only affected to a limited extent by the high inflation and the high interest rates. The Group is mainly exposed to large infrastructure and industrial projects within the country's growth regions, which enables a solid business foundation.
Quarterly net sales increased by 17.7 percent, of which 11.5 percent was organic growth. The increase was mainly due to major industrial projects in business area North and West, where several subsidiaries within the Group are active, as well as to two acquisitions in business area South related to the second half of 2023. Quarterly Group EBITA excluding items affecting comparability increased by 22.1 percent, of which 21.3 percent was organic growth. The improvement in earnings was mainly due to business area North and was a result of high efficiency in production related to a large industrial project. Other business areas also improved their results in the second quarter. Order intakes are on a par with last year and several of our subsidiaries are working on projects that run for a longer period. The collaboration between the subsidiaries is deepening, which results in new business opportunities and at the same time provides an exchange of experience and improved processes.
Overall, Bellman Group has so far been relatively unaffected by the recession. A broad comprehensive offering, a large geographical spread, and exposure to long-term infrastructure and industrial projects enables stable income over time.
