Elanders AB: Quarterly Report January – June 2024

First six months 2024

  • Net sales amounted to MSEK 6,771 (7,040), which corresponded to an organic net sales reduction of five percent, excluding acquisitions and discontinued operations, and using unchanged exchange rates.
  • Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK 395 (427), which equaled an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.8 (6.1) percent.
  • During the period, one-off items of MSEK -73 (-81) were charged to operating result. These mainly referred to structural measures in the USA and China, while the remainder related to acquisition costs and severance pay to the former CFO.
