Third quarter 2013
The third quarter was disappointing in terms of earnings. The improvement in volume growth that was seen in both the order intake and invoicing did not have the impact on earnings that was forecast, primarily due to unfavourable market and product mix, in addition to the challenging exchange-rate scenario. The Group will intensify its ongoing work to realise the significant efficiency potential found within the Group.
