Comments from CEO Bodil Sonesson:

We are delighted with the continued strong organic order intake, where, despite the supply chain challenges, the service to our customers is at a good level.
Order intake in the most recent three quarters is more than 1 BSEK ahead of the previous three quarters, evidencing the recovery from the pandemic.
The year to date operating margin at 10.4 (adjusted 6.0)% remains strong and at a good level compared to the market, despite the supply chain challenges.
The Group continues the focus on developing industry leading sustainable solutions. A great example of this is "Vitality ReLight" from Whitecroft which delivers solutions that regenerate and re-use rather than replace or re-new.
The Group's connected solutions, Organic Response and Seneco continue to grow. Organic Response volumes to the end of the quarter are almost at 100% of the full year 2020 levels.
Now that we have acquired the remaining shares in the North American subsidiary, we can move forward with a focused long-term strategic initiative in the region.
