"We continued to handle the challenges in the supply chain with raw material shortages, transport problems, and increased prices on both raw materials and energy costs. Once again, we delivered a very strong quarter. EBIT amounted to 836 MSEK, our best result ever, which corresponds to an increase of 8 percent compared with the previous quarter and with 15 percent compared to the corresponding quarter previous year. We had a strong sales growth of 41 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year, with good sales in all markets and all product areas.
We believe that our strong customer focus in combination with our geographical closeness to our customers give us opportunities to deal with the disruptions and further strengthen our market position. We are flexible and ready to meet the expected increase in vehicle production. The strong business model in combination with a clear M&A agenda and strong financial position give us good conditions for continued growth and acquisitions."
