” SBB has a has a very strong financial position with just over SEK 50 billion in unencumbered assets, strong banking relationships and access to the European credit market, which the company clearly demonstrated by being able to issue a 20 year bond in the middle of the crisis. SBB had cash of SEK 3,8 billion at the end of the quarter. Access to capital is important, but it is even more important to deliver strong cash flows from operations. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital increased by 358 percent to SEK 444m (97) for the quarter. Adjusted for non-recurring effects for the buyback of expensive loans and restructuring costs, cash flow landed at SEK 591m (122). The strong increase in net operating income by 273 percent to SEK 895m is promising for the future. The crises come and go and one should be humble before this, but our job is to be a reliable and long-term social participant who in a sustainable way delivers shareholder value, good profitability and strong results.”
