Interim report Q1: Strong development within Rock Sweden and positive effects of cost adaptions

January – March 2024

  • Net sales decreased by 18% and amounted to SEK 751 (912) million
  • Organic growth amounted to -21 (21) %
  • Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 24 (51) million with a margin of 3.2 (5.6) %
  • Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 51 (93) million
  • Earnings per share for the period before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.26 (0.29)

– The very low activity in housing construction and its surrounding effects continue to negatively impact on the group's financial performance, particularly our revenue. However, ongoing, and initiated activities to restructure and consolidate both Rock Norway and Foundation Sweden are yielding the desired and positive result. The same applies to our efforts to adapt the cost base to the current business climate. It's also encouraging that we've seen strong growth in the Swedish rock operations during the quarter and solid underlying demand in the Norwegian operations, marked by several new project commencements and orders within each unit, both during and after the quarter's end, says Andreas Christoffersson, CEO Nordisk Bergteknik AB.
