CEO’s comments
Net sales for the Q3 2022 were EUR 11,6 million growing 41% compared with EUR 8,2 million net sales a year ago. The growth is driven by the stong order book and improved logistics and efforts on sourcing the needed components. The order intake continued strong which led to an orderbook of EUR 38,3 million.
The Power Supplies product category’s net sales increased to EUR 7,8 million with an increase of EUR 2,9 million, 59%, compared to net sales of EUR 4,9 million in Q3 2021, driven by increased demand from key customers.
The Led Drivers product category's net sales were EUR 2,7 million, which is in line with the net sales of Q3 2021.
The net sales of the Power Systems product category increased with EUR 0,5 million and was EUR 1,2 million, an increase of 67% compared to the weak comparison period. The increase is mostly impacted by good order intake and continued efforts to improve logistics.
The groupwide turnaround program has been fully implemented by the end of Q3 2022 and the positive impacts can be seen on the financial performance of Q3 2022. Enedo will be countinously improving operative processes and taking actions on identified risks. The global shortage of components is prevailing.
We are taking actions also to improve performance of the production site in Tunis, for example improving the demand management and adressing bottlenecks. In addition the scouting for external EMS partners is continued.
Inission AB’s ownership in Enedo increased to 95,85% as a result of mandatory public tender at the end of September. Becoming a subsidiary of Inission AB improves the co-operation between Enedo & Inission and will further enable synergies and co-operation. Becoming a subsidiary of Inission also strengthens our financial capabilities.
As Inission AB holds more than 90 per cent of all the shares and voting rights in Enedo, it therefore has the right and the obligation under Chapter 18, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act to redeem the remaining shares in Enedo held by the other shareholders at fair price.
After the reporting period Inission AB has decided to exercise its redemption right and to redeem all the remaining shares in Enedo held by the other shareholders of Enedo. Inission has also informed Enedo about initiating an arbitration procedure with respect the redemption and the redemption price.

Financial performance
The liquidity situation of the company has remained challenging although the value of inventories has decreased with EUR 0.7 million from the peak reached during summer period of 2022.
