For further information
*In order to increase comparability, comparable figures for 2010 have been adjusted to account for the divestment in September 2010 of the Mobility Products business unit and capital gains of SEK 60.5 million from the sale, and the figures are therefore different to those reported.
Operating profit includes a change in value (not affecting liquidity) in Australian Enerji Ltd. of SEK –0.7 million (+4.6 m) for the October-December period and SEK –5.7 million (–49.2 m) for the January-December period.
