- 1,507 (1,676) homes under construction. 64% (80%) of homes under construction sold or reserved.
- Only 2 unsold homes in completed projects at the end of the period.
Magnus Andersson, CEO of Besqab, comments:
"Besqab concludes a quarter in which both operating profit and operating margin doubled compared with the same period last year. Revenue was lower, as no new projects were started during the quarter. At the same time, we have launched sales in a number of projects with strong reservation levels, creating conditions for several project starts in the coming quarters. Return on equity for the last twelve-month period amounted to just under eight percent, also an improvement and a result of our focused work to shorten project lead times and operate in a more capital-efficient manner."
