¹ Figures in parentheses pertain to the corresponding period/quarter in the preceding fiscal year and are presented excluding the effects of a patent settlement that had a positive impact of SEK 110 million on operating profit.

Comments from Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB

"I am proud that Sectra has once again received a number one ranking from our customers in independent evaluations. Satisfied customers stay and grow with us, which is the ultimate proof that we deliver value for businesses with the highest demands on trust, quality and reliability.

"Financially, our underlying operating profit trend was positive for the nine-month period, although the outcome did not surpass the figures for the comparative period, which included significant positive non-recurring effects from a patent settlement. The outcome for this year was also negatively impacted by exchange-rate movements and delays in product deliveries in Secure Communications. As previously communicated, these delays are expected to have a relatively powerful impact on the financial outcome of the security operations for the remainder of the fiscal year. We do not expect these effects to subside until next year.

"In our medical operations, the ongoing transition to service sales is progressing. Increased production volumes from new customer deployments are contributing to growing sales and profitability. Imaging IT Solutions' sales surpassed SEK 3 billion for the rolling 12-month period, with the US operations displaying the fastest growth.

"We believe that by combining our in-depth understanding of our customers' businesses with AI technology, we have an opportunity to further strengthen our offerings and help our customers enter this new reality. We have a stable base of long-term recurring revenue, a very low churn rate, and are growing in pace with our customers. This provides us with a strong position as we continue to invest in innovation, new business and the transition to cloud-based services."
