Press Release from Elanders AB (publ) 2024-04-19

First quarter 2024

  • Net sales amounted to MSEK 3,268 (3,589), which corresponded to an organic net sales reduction of nine percent, excluding acquisitions and discontinued operations, and using unchanged exchange rates.

  • During the period, one-off items of MSEK -26 (-67) where charged to operating result. These mainly referred to acquisition costs.
  • Adjusted net result amounted to MSEK 32 (77), corresponding to SEK 0.89 (2.16) per share.
  • Operating cash flow adjusted for purchase prices for acquisitions increased to MSEK 641 (512). Operating cash flow including acquisitions amounted to MSEK 121 (512).
  • Cash conversion increased to 137 (122) percent, excluding purchase prices for acquisitions.
  • In February 2024, Elanders acquired almost 90 percent of the shares in the British company Bishopsgate Newco Ltd. During 2023, Bishopsgate had net sales of MGBP 27 with very good profitability.
  • After the balance sheet date, the remaining 20 percent of the shares in the American company Bergen Logistics were acquired for a purchase price of MUSD 47. Since Bergen was acquired in November 2021, the company has had a growth of approximately 60 percent with very good profitability.
