CEO comment

 Stable sales and continued SaaS growth

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 126.9 (126.0) million. SaaS revenues were SEK 53.7 (47.1) million and represented 42.3% (37.4%) of net sales. Reported EBITDA was SEK 9.8 (8.5) million. Adjusted for Hanover costs and non-recurring items, EBITDA amounted to SEK 15.3 (14.5) million.

Our second quarter was characterized by stable sales and continued growth in SaaS revenues.

During the quarter we have seen continued expansion of our international customer activity as well as some customer project delays. During the quarter, we expanded our work across the whole group focusing on key enterprise customer development and the strengthening of our service and product range. We also strengthened our country management organizational set-up to further local growth and local market specific focus. The on-going investment continues in our software and product offering concurrent with our operations and sales functions development activities.

Outlook

Our long-term plan and investment initiatives for scalable international growth are further strengthening our position. As a result, we continue to see increased organizational efficiency and new opportunities taking shape in the medium term. At the same time, we’re effectively handling delayed lead times in some customer projects.

We continue to actively monitor market development and to manage costs diligently whilst prioritizing key investments for long-term growth. I would like to thank all our co-workers for their tireless commitment and thank our customers for their continued trust.
