Statement from President and CEO Eva Nygren:
"Rejlers is continuing to develop positively. Growth during the first three quarters amounted to 15 per cent, which is in line with the target for 2015. Two thirds of the growth has been organic. Demand for our services in Finland and Norway has developed particularly strongly during the quarter.

The profit has been subject to non-recurring costs for the conference held in August, which represented an important initiative relating to employee development for further consolidation and growth. We have also incurred non-recurring costs relating to individual projects during the period. Overall, quarterly profit was impacted by non-recurring costs of SEK 16 million.

The market is difficult to judge, but the prospects remain good within Energy and Infrastructure in the Nordic region. We have a strong position in this region, with increased order levels and new business opportunities. There is some concern over a possible weakening within Industry and Construction & Property, but this has been offset to some extent by an increase in the demand for services relating to energy efficiency and security solutions.

Adjusted for non-recurring costs quarterly profit is in line with last year. We will further develop this platform for continued growth based around Rejlers' strong corporate culture. Increased profitability, brand development and higher visibility are presenting us with an opportunity to attract new customers and employees."
