Our sales declined five percent, as the delivery volumes remained lower than in the comparison period's level, mostly due to slippages at MacGregor. The profitability development in Kalmar and Hiab has shown positive signs during the year. Continued project cost overruns in Kalmar and lower profitability than expected earlier this year in MacGregor have disappointed us. A significant number of measures are being taken to improve Cargotec's profitability. During the last quarter of the year, we will focus on fulfilment of deliveries and releasing working capital.
