CEO’s comment – We’re seeing continued high aggregate demand from our customers. We’re growing with profitability, and our operating margin year to date was 9.9%—well in line with our long-term target.
“NOTE’s sales in the third quarter progressed as we expected and reached SEK 1,034 million, which corresponds to growth of 11%. Early in the year, we expected the third quarter to be our weakest in terms of growth. Our broad customer base compensated for short-term project deferrals and inventory adaptations by some of our customers through very high growth by other customers and customer projects. Despite a more challenging business cycle, we are still seeing high aggregate demand from our customers. Sales growth for the first three quarters of the year was 19%.
For the quarter, the profitability was 9.1%. Our operating margin was somewhat lower than our target due to unusually high fluctuations in demand at some of our customers, which has impacted capacity utilisation in our plants. We reported an operating margin of 9.9% for the first three quarters of the year. NOTE’s business is performing positively, and profitability is consistent with the target we set for our business to achieve by 2025.
Our order position remains strong and we feel confident to repeat our guidance of at least 4.3 billion SEK for the full year 2023. This corresponds to growth of at least the 11% we reported in Q3. For 2024, we expect our growth rate to increase. Looking ahead, we see a continued increase in operating profit, and a strengthening of our operating margin.”, says Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO and President.
