A solid organic growth and strong operating margin
We had a solid performance in the second quarter. Revenues reached SEK 7.4 billion with an organic growth of 3.8 percent. Acquisitions contributed to growth while the strengthening of the SEK had a significant negative impact on revenue for all segments. A favorable business mix, along with higher efficiency, resulted in an increased operating margin (EBITA) of 12.7 percent (11.6), which is the highest margin we have achieved in a second quarter. This led to a significant increase in basic earnings per share, which reached SEK 7.01 (5.65). The cash flow from operating activities in relation to operating income (EBITA) was above 100 percent on a rolling twelve months basis.
