Strong cash flow creates the conditions for continued value creation
During the second quarter, net sales increased by 11 percent to SEK 1,335 million, reflecting acquisitive growth in Ettiketto Group and a strong performance in Communication. EBITA amounted to SEK 91 million, compared with 132 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The decline was primarily attributable to weak earnings in S:t Eriks Group and Tornum Group. Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 163 million and the net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio decreased to 2.9x. The strong cash flow during the quarter enabled two further add-on acquisitions.
