President and CEO Peter Wallin comments:
“We are seeing a clear improvement in the housing market, with increased demand and rising household purchasing power. However, the return to a normalised situation will take time. The consumer segment is increasing significantly from a low level, and we are seeing greater interest in investor transactions. The expected low business volumes in the quarter were countered with the previously announced cost-saving measures that have now been implemented. We will have achieved our undertaking of SEK 1 Bn in annual gross savings as of the beginning of January 2025. An improved cash flow for the period has further reduced our interest-bearing net debt.”
