Positve

Negative
  • Market uncertainty led to a postponed uptick in demand, particularly affecting components towards customers in Europe.

Niklas Stenberg
Addtech AB - President, Chief Executive Officer, Director

Good morning, and most welcome, everyone, to Addtech's second quarter report presentation. The setup is as usual, that Malin and I will spend approximately 15 minutes to summarize the highlights and give our comments on the results and then followed by a Q&A session.

So a brief overview. We conclude a good quarter for Addtech on the whole with high activity and continued growth. We increased our sales with 5%, of which 2% were organic, and we defend our high-level margins at 14.9% and the cash flow remains strong.

We kept up the high pace of acquisitions also during the second quarter and have year-to-date announced nine acquisitions, adding a total of approximately SEK1.2 billion in sales all in all. Satisfying to see that the group continued to deliver growth in a partly challenging market looking a bit more into sales in the quarter. Given, as I said, the market uncertainty, it's great to see that four out of five business areas contribute possibly three or five with continued organic growth.
