CEO Magnus Brännström comments
“During Q3 2017, we continued to execute on our strategic priorities resulting in yet another quarter of healthy growth and improved profitability. The overall performance in Asia & Turkey remained strong, although with variations within the region. The growth in the CIS continued, supported by sustained high productivity levels. Latin America was affected by the earthquakes and negative timing. Our efforts to improve the capacity utilisation in manufacturing continued to render results during the quarter and the number of registered actives was stable. The local currency sales development for the Group in the fourth quarter-to-date is in line with our long-term financial target.”
