“NOTE continues to develop strongly. During the first half of the year, sales increased by 28% to SEK 843 million. Excluding additional sales in our British company Speedboard Assembly Services, which was acquired in the fourth quarter, growth was 15%. We still win many new customers’ trusts, both in traditional industries and in new fast-growing application areas. New major customer partnerships announced during the year include DeLaval, Laerdal Medical, Maven Wireless, Micropower and UNIPOWER.
Our operating profit for the first half of the year increased by 42% to SEK 57 million, which is a result of continued growth, stable operating costs and a strong development, not least in our Western European plants. Earnings per share for the first half of the year increased by 50% to SEK 1.51/share.
We are well equipped for the future. The order backlog at mid-year was at a record high level and we have several larger, exciting customer projects that are now entering batch production. I therefore see good opportunities for our positive development to continue", says Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO and president.
