For the first quarter 2021 Bilia expects to report operational earnings which is significantly higher compared with previous year and market expectations.
The operational earnings for the first quarter 2021 are expected to amount to about SEK 525 M, compared with SEK 279 M for the first quarter 2020.
The development in Norway has remained very good during the first quarter 2021, which together with a good development in both the Service and Car Businesses for other operations in the Group contributed to the higher operational earnings. Deliveries of new cars in Sweden at the end of March have been at a high level, due to the introduction of new tax rules as of 1 April.
The figures are preliminary and not audited by Bilia’s auditors. Complete information will be reported as part of Bilia’s ordinary interim report on April 27, 2021.
