Report this content

Several of Ework’s clients remained cautious in the weaker economic situation during the third quarter, which dampened growth and profitability. To strengthen our margins, we segmented our client acquisition activities and focused on business and add-on services that create value. At the same time, we worked further in accordance with our strategic plan to better leverage our business model and sustainably increase our profitability. New contracts were signed to a greater extent to better margins, while we matched more specialists and senior professionals with higher hourly rates in order to meet the skills needs of our clients.

  • Net sales grew by 4.2 percent to SEK 3,640 million (3,492).
  • EBIT decreased 3.5 percent to SEK 44.8 million (46.4).
  • The operating margin (EBIT) was 120 bps (132).
  • Profit after financial items decreased 34.7 percent to SEK 28.5 million (43.7).
  • Order intake decreased by 17.2 percent to SEK 3,028 million (3,606).
  • The number of professionals on assignment averaged 12,732 (12,616).
  • Earnings after tax and per share after dilution amounted to SEK 1.25 (2.03), a decrease of 38.3 percent.

 
First nine months of 2023 compared to 2022
