In a comment on the third-quarter results, Bilia’s Managing Director Jan Pettersson says:
“The profit is a step in the right direction compared with the outcome for the first six months. Sweden and Norway report earnings on a level with last year. The price adjustments for workshop jobs in Sweden during the second quarter had a positive effect on demand. Furthermore, an improved margin on used cars led to higher profits in the Car Business compared with the first six months.”
