“The fourth quarter delivered strong organic growth of 17.1 percent and an adjusted profit that more than doubled to SEK 209 m, or an operating margin of 9.4 percent. All geographic regions are back to reporting organic growth. A stronger gross margin due to strong organic growth combined with lower selling and administration expenses are the main factors underlying the improvement in profits.”
