CEO’s Comment
“NOTE is one of the most competitive electronics manufacturers in the Nordics with first class quality and delivery precision. During the first six months, we saw a continued positive development for several of our customers, among other within the medtech sector, and in the defence sector.
To sharpen our focus on markets with good sales growth, we divested our Norwegian operation in the second quarter. Adjusted for the sale of our Norwegian operation, sales growth was 3% in the first and second quarters. Higher sales and the associated increased services content, helped operating profit increasing SEK 6.5 million to SEK 29.6 million, which meant an expansion of operating margin by 1.1 percentage points to 5.3%. In the second quarter, we achieved an operating margin of 5.5%. Cash flow continued to progress positively and amounted to SEK 31.2 million. Our Balance Sheet remained strong with a low net debt and an equity assets ratio of 44.4%.
In the short term, our order book, which is a combination of fixed orders and customer forecasts, suggests continued positive sales performance. If we consider the number of ongoing business discussions on new projects, the situation also looks positive”, says Stefan Hedelius, CEO and President.
