Michael Berglin, CEO Serneke Group, comments:
“Over the second quarter of the year, the external situation has shifted in the direction of increased uncertainty with regard to several factors affecting us and our industry. Despite this external turbulence, I am nonetheless satisfied to summarize our first half of the year as a period in which we continued to strengthen the company in its priority areas – profitability, balanced growth, stability, and development.”
“With interest rates and a insecure housing market characterizing demand, we derive further security from having been able to refocus the product mix in our order backlog. Compared with the situation in the second quarter of 2021, we have a larger share of projects involving public properties, industrial properties and offices and a smaller share of housing. Although underlying housing needs remain extensive, there is a risk that demand will decrease due to inflation and interest rates. The larger proportion of public projects and clients that we currently have in the portfolio brings stability.”
