Interim Report January - March 2013

"eWork continued its positive progress in the first quarter of the year, on a fairly poor market. Net sales and operating profit increased, albeit at a lower rate than the previous year. The interest in long-term, large-scale undertakings remains high", comments Claes Ruthberg, President and CEO.

First quarter 2013 compared with 2012
• Net sales rose by 9.7 percent to SEK 954.2 million (869.9).
• Operating profit increased by 6.5 percent to SEK 14.8 million (13.9).
• Order intake was SEK 922.1 million (1,023.0), down by 9.9 percent.
• Profit after tax per share was SEK 0.69 (0.62).
• The market was more hesitant than previously in the first quarter. The primary explanation for order intake decreasing is that the number of takeover and specific selection contracts decreased year on year. However, interest in this type of contract remains high.
• A significant number of new framework agreements were signed in the period, on accounts including Fortum teknik, utility Dong in Denmark and three framework agreements for technology consultants in Finland.
