CEO’s comment

"NOTE is one of the leading electronics manufacturers in the Nordics with first class quality and delivery precision. In the period, we’ve improved profitability and strengthened our cash flow. Increased service content in our sales, in combination with a number of successful costs measures, contributed to operating profit increasing SEK 9.0 million to SEK 43.7 million. At the same time, operating margin expanded 1.1 percentage points to 5.4%. In the third quarter, operating margin improved to 5.7%.

Cash flow after investments improved to SEK 37.7 million in the period. In the last 12-month period, cash flow was SEK 63.2 million, corresponding to SEK 2.19 per share. Our Balance Sheet remains one of the sector’s strongest, with low net debt and an equity to assets ratio of 44.7%.

We focus on sales growth and profitability and perceive continued positive potential for increasing our market share over time, both for existing and new customers”, says Stefan Hedelius, CEO and President.
