Comment by Lasse Lindblad, CEO:
“The Capinordic Group focuses on high-margin business areas and profitable
customer segments. Over the past two years we have made a number of strategic
acquisitions. We now focus on strengthening the basis which is to generate our
organic growth. At the same time, we concluded various extensive corporate
finance assignments in Q3.
In Q3 2007 alone, we have earned DKK 45m, and we have a strong pipeline for Q4
2007. Historically, Capinordic has also had good earnings in the fourth quarter
of the year.”
