CEO’s comments
“The development of orders received by the Group was good during Q1. The Americas region especially saw strong progress during the quarter, and orders in the EMEA region also saw a positive trend. In the APAC region the picture was more mixed at the start of 2015, with orders staying at the same level as in Q1 2014.

The Group’s profitability strengthened during the quarter. The operating profit, excluding restructuring and acquisition costs, doubled compared with the same period in 2014. The positive development in earnings capability is primarily related to higher volumes and lower underlying costs, as well as the weaker Swedish krona, which affected earnings positively.
