AQ Group's Board of Directors has decided on updated financial targets.
New financial targets (previous targets in brackets):
Financial standing: equity ratio >40% (>40%)
Profitability: profit margin before tax (EBT) >10% (>8%)
Growth: annually >15% (>15%)
Product quality: 100% (100%)
Delivery precision: >98% (>98%)
"Our strategy has for a long time been to increase technology content and sales of more complex components and systems. Today, we take greater responsibility for design, especially in our business area inductive components. During the last 13 quarters, we had a profit margin before tax above our target of 8%. It therefore feels natural to raise the ambition and our new target is thus 10%. Other targets remain challenging and relevant to keep unchanged." comments James Ahrgren, CEO.
"The Board is focused on creating shareholder value and we believe that this is best done by AQ Group continuing to grow profitably. It is important that we have challenging targets to strive towards and therefore the time was right to update the profitability target now." comments Åsa Landén Ericsson, Chairman of the Board.
