Consolidating the reports for the first quarter from Lindab's subsidiaries, we can see that the net sales and operating profit exceed both previous year and expected result. As a consequence we are presenting advance information.
Preliminary net sales for the first quarter (Jan - Mar 2019) is SEK 2,315 m (2,153) with a preliminary operating profit of SEK 192 m including impact from IFRS 16. Preliminary profit excluding impact from IFRS 16 amounts to SEK 185 m (71).
We see several contributing factors generating this good preliminary result with positive development in all business areas.
