Ework Group AB (publ) publishes Interim Report, January – September 2019: Good growth, stronger positioning on a weaker market

“The trends we saw in the first half-year continued in the third quarter. Ework consolidated its market position with new business, while also noting a cyclical slowdown.”

Extract from CEO Zoran Covics commentary to the Interim Report.

Third quarter 2019 compared to 2018

• Net sales increased by 14% to SEK 2,702 M (2,370).
• EBIT was up by 3% to SEK 18.8 M (18.3).
• Order intake rose by 15% to SEK 2,743 M (2,390).
• Earnings per share after tax after dilution were SEK 0.77 (0.73), a 6% increase.

First nine months of 2019 compared to 2018

• Net sales increased by 15% to SEK 9,078 M (7,863).
• EBIT was up by 12% to SEK 75.9 M (67.6).
• Earnings per share after tax after dilution were SEK 3.11 (2.85), a 9% increase.

As stated in previous quarterly reports, Ework considers that the somewhat weaker market means that achieving its growth target for EPS for 2019 will be more challenging than expected. As a weaker market has been confirmed in the third quarter, the previously announced target to increase earnings per share by 20 percent in 2019 will not be reached.
