"During the third quarter we saw overall somewhat lower demand and sales compared to the corresponding quarter of 2023. This was most evident for automotive-related customers. At the same time, on a positive note, we saw increased demand from customers within building and construction. Driven by continued lower raw material prices, we still see somewhat lower sales prices. In total, the third quarter of 2024 showed sales that amounted to 4,977 MSEK (5,461) and EBIT of 800 MSEK (930). At the same time, we delivered an EBIT margin of 16.1 percent (17.0).
We believe that our strong customer focus in combination with our geographical closeness to our customers gives us continued opportunities to deal with the disruptions and further strengthen the market position. The strong business model in combination with a clear acquisition strategy and strong financial position gives us good conditions for continued growth and acquisitions."
Klas Dahlberg, President and CEO
