Lars Corneliusson, CEO, comments: "The second quarter of 2021 was another strong quarter for Ferronordic. We performed well across business areas and we recorded our best operating profit in a single quarter to date. In Russia/CIS, the market for construction equipment grew by 74% on a combination of pent-up demand, stronger commodity prices and increased infrastructure spending. Our new machine sales in units increased by 26%, as product groups where our market share is lower grew more strongly in the quarter. Customer activity increased and aftermarket sales grew by 14% in SEK, despite an 18% depreciation of the ruble. In contracting services, we reached planned capacity in Norilsk and expanded our operations in Irkutsk. We also started  work as dealer for Sandvik mobile crushers and screens in Russia. Total revenue in Russia/CIS grew by 54% in local currency and 31% in SEK. The operating margin was strong at 12.5% and Russia/CIS achieved a record operating result for a single quarter. In Germany, we completed the acquisitions of two workshops and continued our work to expand, improve and integrate our service network. The German truck market grew by 20% as business activity continued to recover. Our new trucks sales increased by 47% in units and we gained market share. Our used trucks business made a good contribution and aftermarket sales continued to grow, partly due to our acquisitions. As a result of higher revenue and gross margin, the operating result improved. For the Group, revenue was up 32% and the operating profit increased by 37% to SEK 144m. We expect our markets to continue to recover as economies open up and as a result of pent-up demand. Current uncertainty mainly regards continued supply chain constraints. In a longer perspective, we see strong underlying fundamentals and business opportunities in our markets.“
