CEO's comments
We can look back on a good second quarter with high levels of activity and strong overall demand. Total sales increased by 8 percent, of which 2 percent was organic, with growth being strongest in the Automation and Electrification business areas. EBITA increased a total 17 percent, corresponding to a margin of 16.7 (15.5) percent. A non-recurring effect in the Safety business area had a positive impact of around SEK 55 million on the quarter's EBITA. We report a P/WC of 82 percent (77) and note once again that our strong positions in attractive niche technologies, alongside favourable performance across the companies and a well-filled pipeline, continue to drive profitable growth.
