Bravida continues to deliver good growth and stable profitability. Net sales
increased by 17 per cent. Our acquisitions represented an important part of the
growth, while organic growth amounted to 5 per cent. This means that, excluding
acquisitions, we continue to grow faster than the market.

Our expansion is also clearly shown in the financial results. The adjusted
operating profit increased at the same pace as sales growth, which meant that
the adjusted operating margin was unchanged at 5.2 per cent. This is in spite of
the fact that profits were affected by the costs of integrating acquisitions.
Our existing operations thus continue to improve the margin, which is evidence
that the strategic improvement work is bearing fruit in the form of increased
profitability.

We are putting a great deal of effort and focus into integrating the acquired
companies. This is central to realising the potential synergies in every single
company acquisition. At the same time, we are maintaining a high tempo in
acquisitions, with 5 companies being added during the quarter.

The order intake was also a strength factor during the quarter, with an increase
of as much as 22 per cent, partly due to acquisitions. This growth represents a
strong basis for the continuing development of invoicing for the rest of the
year.

I am delighted that our customers show such great confidence in us. Our
Satisfied Customer survey shows that our customers give us a high score.
