“The reason for the low result in the third quarter is late incoming orders during the summer months.

Approaching the end of 2019, we experience a positive momentum as order intake has caught up and we are therefore very optimistic regarding next year.

At the end of the third quarter, we had an order backlog at T.SEK 132,620 – this has already risen to T.SEK 144,150 when including the two contracts signed after the end of the quarter.

With these two additional contracts, we follow our plan of reaching a positive cash flow.” CEO Niels Buus commented.
