President and CEO Peter Wallin comments:

“Our objective to improve profitability through stricter cost control and more efficient production coupled with leaner governance is gradually being reflected in our figures. We delivered an increased gross margin of 15.2 per cent (13.8) in the quarter and profit before tax increased to SEK 303 M (218 before IAC)."

"There is a great deal of activity across the organisation to ensure profitable starts and hand overs. We reported nearly 1,000 starts in the second quarter despite permitting deferrals. Our outlook of starting 4,200 remains. We can look back at a very active period the last 18 months where we have improved a lot of different areas. I am truly proud over how the organisation has tackled the different challenges.”
