Lindab's President and CEO, Anders Berg, commented: "It is pleasing to present a quarterly report with improved sales and profit. The outlook for the European construction market, which accounts for the greatest proportion of our sales, has brightened a little. The recovery is projected to begin in 2014 at a modest pace and from low levels. Lindab is late- cyclical and is mostly exposed towards the non-residential construction segment, which means that market growth in the short term will be limited. The mild winter weather in December has had a positive impact on sales, especially for building systems and building products. We have had a number of successful projects for building systems in Russia and Belarus and project sales for our indoor climate solutions have also performed well during the quarter. Our goal is profitable growth and we are proceeding with our activities within "Back to Basics into the Future". We are continuing to develop our offerings in order to help our customers succeed with simplified construction, both in distribution as well as projects and solutions. The cost-reduction programme has been fully implemented, but streamlining continues as a natural part of the work and lean methodologies are being adopted throughout the organisation. The expertise and creativity of our employees is a vast capital that we must manage and actively develop."
