“We have seen a strong trend in our core business, which, combined with our strategic efforts to reduce costs over the long term, resulted in a clear improvement in profitability in the quarter. The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic is impacting our business and markets in both the short and longer term. Despite this, we can see clear signs of continued favourable demand in all customer segments, although market developments and the risk of supply chain disruptions remain difficult to assess from a short-term perspective. As we look ahead, we can see that we are well positioned to benefit from the strong underlying market trends, such as online retail and greater demand for mobility, cloud services and security. We have strong faith in our ability to further strengthen our market position and profitability. Combined with our solid financial position, this means we are well-equipped to address the opportunities and challenges that the future may bring for us and our customers”, says Thomas Ekman, President and CEO at Dustin.
