“We continue to see progress across our markets, and despite the headwind from the decline in the GBP, our earnings have improved over last year”, says Michael T Andersen, CEO. “The positive market development supports our pricing strategy, and in combination with cost containment, we have mitigated the external negative factors from adverse currency effect and increase in raw material costs in the UK.”
