Statement by Jens Bjerg Sørensen, President of Schouw & Co.
- Overall, Q3 2024 was a good quarter for Schouw & Co. with solid profitability and continued strong cash flow generation. Our portfolio companies operate in volatile and uncertain environments with tough competition and constant pressure on prices and volume. Despite the current market conditions and lower revenue, we are very satisfied with our ability to increase the gross margin and continuously improve efficiency in our operations.
The business model in Schouw & Co. is focused on generating return on investments and thereby creating value for both our businesses and our shareholders. Our businesses are strongly positioned to utilise recent year's investments, and they have good opportunities to continue to generate solid cash flow.
