Improved earnings and increased sales
Six-month profit improved by SEK 24.6 million compared to the year-ago period. That is clear evidence that the company’s profitability-oriented activities have had an effect. Also sales were higher than the first half of 2010. During the second quarter a few customer orders were postponed, which affected sales in the quarter. In addition, strong demand -primarily for the Industry market area - decelerated somewhat although growth continued. For these reasons, second quarter sales were somewhat weaker than anticipated.
