Year-end report January - December 2018

Report this content

During the year, the company strengthened its position in the market through an agreement with Heimstaden AB corresponding to an order value of SEK 9.6 billion. During the year, we also expanded our already extensive cooperation with Alecta through a letter of intent regarding four hotels. In addition, we see that the company's cash flow from operating activities is moving in the right direction because projects under production are increasingly being completed.

However, we are not satisfied with our result for the fourth quarter, which was impaired by a number of projects being delayed, which are instead expected to be realized in 2019.
