CEO, ROGER JOHANSSON COMMENTS

9% ORGANIC GROWTH AND MARGIN EXPANSION IN ALL REGIONS

“We are pleased to deliver sales growth in 7 out of 8 businesses for the second quarter, which is seasonally the strongest quarter of the year. Organic growth amounted to 9% and the EBIT margin before i.a.c. improved to 16.9% (15.1%). We are seeing healthy underlying development in all our regions. Cash flow was robust, with debt leverage now at 2.1x compared to 2.7x following the IPO in November last year.

The global outlook for the RV markets remains positive, with Europe showing particularly strong momentum and the US continuing its steady development.

All in all, in light of the current performance and conditions in our markets, we remain confident for the rest of 2016.”
