"In the third quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 7,982 million (7,991). Adjusted EBITA was SEK 759 million (783), corresponding to a margin of 9.5 percent (9.8). Our strong cash flow has enabled a reduction of net debt by SEK 4 billion over the past three years. These long-term and dedicated efforts have contributed significantly to the 40 percent increase in earnings per share in the quarter. Our focus on organic growth remains strong, and with a strengthened financial position, we now have headroom to complement this with acquisitions", says Christer Hansson, CEO of Storskogen.
