ONWARDS . . .
A general reduction in incoming orders is indicating a continued decline within a number of market segments, although the rate and extent of this decline are hard to judge. We are constantly adapting our operations with a focus on cash flow and margins. The immediate future is expected to remain difficult in many ways, but we are confident about the future in a longer perspective.
With a solid financial position combined with a business model based on entrepreneurship and well-thought-out strategies, our investments in profitable growth and development are continuing. We will continue to be careful as regards the profile on the markets and the projects we select. We can see good opportunities for growth within areas such as sustainable energy and infrastructure solutions. Through in-depth collaboration within the Group, we can also reinforce our offering and develop our customer relations. Wide-ranging, joint initiatives are also being conducted in relation to areas such as sustainability and internal processes. And supplementing the Group’s operations through further acquisitions remains relevant.
