"The market trend remained weak, which had a clear negative impact on sales volumes. It was satisfying to see continued improvements in the margin during the second quarter through effective cost control, price discipline and changes in the mix. Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 201 million (212) and the adjusted EBITA margin increased to 3.8 per cent (3.4). We are focusing on delivering on our strategic plan by continuing to invest selectively in operations to drive growth and increase profitability over time", says Johan Karlsson, President and CEO at Dustin.
