Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) quarterly report for the period January-March 2023

CEO comment:

Soltech's first quarter 2023 shows that total revenues in the Group amounted to SEK 683 (287.5) million, an increase of 138%. The Group's organic growth amounted to 66 (43) %. These very strong growth figures are delivered, even though we are now focusing more on achieving profitability than on growing, so it is something to be extra proud of for all colleagues. I want to thank our entrepreneurs and our almost 900 employees for great efforts during the quarter.

During four years, Soltech has grown from approx. 50 MSEK in revenue to approx. 2,000 MSEK in the past year, and we are now seeing the effects of being a Group with several billion in revenue. We are therefore continuing the work to increase synergy effects, which is a focus that will have a positive effect in all parts of the Group. Not least on the result.
