"During the first quarter, growth was good at 9.6 percent, of which 5.4 percent was organic. Growth was particularly positive in the Western and Eastern Europe regions, but demand is still strong in the Nordic region too. Systemair's gross margin was lower than in the same period last year, affected by the major project for which a loss was recognised in the fourth quarter. Final delivery of the order has been made during the first quarter. Operating profit improved to SEK 145 million, as against SEK 133 million in the same quarter last year."
