CEO's comments
Finishing strongly, we summarise a successful financial year for Addtech, with favourable performance among the companies generating conditions for continued profitable growth. Despite the uncertainty in the general business environment, the year has been characterised by a high level of activity, resulting in a sales increase of 9 percent, with organic growth in all quarters, earnings growth of 14 percent and a strengthened EBITA margin of 15.0 percent (14.3). With a high rate of acquisitions combined with the strength of our well-diversified business of entrepreneurial niche companies in strong positions, we have once again managed the challenges, while capturing the potential of the market in a highly satisfactory manner.
