Comments from the CEO

We see a very strong organic growth. It is driven by a clear increase in the installation rate of our established products, meaning those that have been on the market for a longer period and where growth reflects rising underlying demand. At the same time, new products are contributing even more significantly to our growth and continue to strengthen our position in both Sweden and Norway. The development in Norway is particularly positive this quarter, where the successful launch of our TRM-01 thermostat has reached a wide customer base and led to both an increased installation rate and higher revenue.

 

Profitability continues to strengthen as we maintain flat cost levels in relation to revenue growth, fully in line with our communicated strategy. Other markets are also showing continued stable development.

 

Although the global environment remains uncertain, particularly due to ongoing trade tensions between the United States and other countries, we currently see no direct impact on our business. We have no sales exposure to the U.S. market and only very limited purchasing exposure. As a result, we are not affected by potential tariffs on components manufactured in the U.S., as the majority of our purchases consist of components originating from other countries. At the same time, we benefit from the weaker U.S. dollar, as a significant portion of our purchases is made in USD. This provides a potential cost advantage rather than a risk. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

 

In summary, the business is developing very positively, with strong organic growth and increasing profitability. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the team for an excellent quarter.
