CEO Krister Blomgren comments:
"We began the year with a strong order intake mainly due to increased demand in the Nordic region ahead of the upcoming digging season. Order intake increased organically by 28 per cent and amounted to SEK 524 million (410). Net sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 446 million (394), an organic year-on-year increase of 14 per cent. The gross margin for the quarter amounted to 46 per cent (42) and was mainly attributable to higher volumes in production combined with a favourable product and market mix. Operating profit increased 40 per cent to SEK 84 million (60), corresponding to an EBIT of 19 per cent (15). Earnings were impacted by a negative currency effect due to the stronger SEK.
The Nordic region reports the strongest start to the year. The order intake amounted to SEK 231 million (156), corresponding to organic growth of 49 per cent. We are seeing increasing positivity in the market among end customers while the inventory levels of dealers are relatively low. The tiltrotator continues to gain ground in Europe and the order intake increased 20 per cent organically. We are seeing increased awareness of our products and their advantages, which was particularly evident at the world's largest and most visited trade exhibition, Bauma in Munich, where tiltrotators were represented by all major excavator manufacturers.
The future market outlook contains a high degree of unpredictability related in part to tariffs and their impact on the global economy. Despite this, we anticipate continued positive net sales growth in the Nordic region ahead of the upcoming digging season and continued stable growth in Europe related to increased market penetration. We did, however, experience minor disruptions in the supply chain in the quarter that could result in a slight delay of deliveries in the forthcoming quarter."
