CEO comment
Net sales amounted to SEK 111.2 (87.8) million. SaaS revenues amounted to SEK 47.0 (40.1) million and represented 42.2 % (45.7) of net sales. EBITDA was SEK 5.4 (11.4) million. Adjusted for non-recurring items, EBITDA amounted to SEK 8.3 (13.3) million.
The increase in net sales is partly explained by the acquisition of the German NORDLAND systems GmbH and partly organic growth. Gross profit amounted to SEK 66.4 (57.2) million with a gross margin of 59.7 (65.2) %.
During the first quarter, we have seen continued increased activity in the market, internationally and nationally, which we are responding to with a strong customer offering. The number of procurements has increased, and customers have to a greater extent started planning for new projects. Further, we have seen that some shortage of components has led to delays in hardware and project deliveries.
Outlook
We are positive that the market continues to recover, and we are preparing for further growth.
