Interim Report January-March 2016

After the implementation of the huge restructuring plan in the Bong Group the
service level towards our customers has now been restored. Given the refinancing
of the company, where we decreased our debt with approximately 500 MSEK, we see
interesting opportunities to strengthen our market position on the envelope
market and also to grow in certain segments within light packaging. The
turnaround is already seen in the figures and our goal to make profit on bottom
line for 2016 is still valid, says Bong’s CEO Stéphane Hamelin.
January – March 2016

• Net sales decreased with 11 percent to SEK 567 million (639)
• Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 11 million (15)
• Non-recurring items amounted to SEK 427 million (-17)
