Quarterly Report January – June 2023
Press Release from Elanders AB (publ) 2023-07-12
First six months 2023
- Net sales increased to MSEK 7,040 (6,897), which corresponded to an organic net sales reduction of five percent, excluding acquisitions and discontinued operations, and using unchanged exchange rates. The reduction is mainly due to normalized freight rates and linked to the Group’s Air & Sea freight forwarding operations.
- Adjusted EBITA increased to MSEK 427 (410), which equaled an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.1 (6.0) percent.
- The period’s reported result included one-off items of MSEK -81 (40). Most of these referred to the historical errors discovered in one of the Group’s companies in North America, which were corrected in the first quarter. The remaining part refers to a provision for additional consideration for an acquisition that has developed better than expected.
- Adjusted net result amounted to MSEK 156 (191), corresponding to SEK 4.37 (5.19) per share.
