CEO, Håkan Kirstein’s comments:

The third quarter was characterized by challenging market conditions, particularly in the southern parts of Europe and in the countries within the US/UK/Ireland segment. Customers in these regions are postponing their security investments. Our sales of services are strengthening and the organic growth within services amounted to 1 percent during the third quarter, and to 3 percent during the period, compared with the preceding year. 

We continued to implement the restructuring program during the third quarter with the aim of reducing costs, increasing the centralization within the countries and thereby raising efficiency in the company significantly.  The program is expected to deliver annual savings of approximately MSEK 180 from the first quarter 2011.The savings amounted to approximately MSEK 25 during the third quarter.   

The execution of the restructuring program is proceeding as planned, but continued to cause productivity disruptions in Sweden, Norway and Germany during the third quarter. This primarily impacted implementation, where the organic growth amounted to -14 percent. These productivity disruptions will gradually cease in line with the completion of the program. We are in a transformation process which will strengthen Niscayah in the long-term.
