Continued cautious market climate - strong focus on upcoming product launches

In the third quarter, we saw a continued challenging market situation combined with a quarter without major product launches. Reported sales decreased by 4.4 percent to SEK 164m (172) with organic growth of -1.1 percent.

The adjusted EBIT result amounted to SEK 30m (35), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 18.4 percent (20.2). The decrease is directly attributable to the lower sales combined with marketing activities for upcoming product launches and strategic investments that initially provide negative economies of scale.

Market climate remains cautious
In line with recent quarters, both professional photographers and large studios continued to act cautiously, as a direct consequence of the uncertain macroeconomic situation regarding equipment purchases and investments. The underlying demand for our products therefore remains subdued in all our regions. Nevertheless, our business in North America showed positive development during the quarter, primarily due to selective product-specific marketing activities.

Strategic investments in launches and organization
During the quarter, we continued to strengthen our organization, primarily in product development and marketing, with several important key recruitments. It is gratifying to note that we now have an organization with a cost base that will allow us to continue to strengthen our market position and that will not increase at the same rate as the expected increase in sales.

Furthermore, we continued to invest in future product launches during the quarter, not least in products intended for film production and LED. We expect to start seeing the results of these investments in the coming quarters.

Executive summary
In conclusion, macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain, which has a direct impact on underlying demand and thus our profitability. At the same time, I am proud that our organization continues to work purposefully with what we can influence, such as innovation and cost control, and that this diligent work will lead to exciting and strategically important product launches and growth in the future.

Given this, I am confident that our disciplined approach will continue to deliver results, and I remain committed to our long- term financial targets of at least 10 percent organic growth and 25-30 percent EBIT margin.
