Operating profit for the second quarter increased by 40 percent compared with the same period last year, to SEK 74 million, and the operating margin increased from 9.9 percent to 12.1 percent. The return on operating capital remained at a high level. The underlying business is performing well and is the main driver for the improvement in earnings during the quarter. Non-recurring items and phasing effects also contributed to the improvement in earnings. Growth was close to our long-term target, despite the fact that no acquisitions have yet been made. All the segments reported improvements and as in the first quarter, progress in Development & Technology was particularly good. In total, the quarter’s results show that we are continuing to deliver successfully in line with our overall growth strategy. These good results combined with the company’s strong balance sheet leave us very well positioned to boost this positive growth through profitable acquisitions and outsourcing transactions with major pharmaceutical companies. During the period we analyzed and evaluated a number of interesting potential acquisitions that could expand our customer base as well as providing geographical expansion and new technologies. We expect this to result in acquisition activities. This will further enhance our opportunities to grow and to provide our customers with solutions that add value. Keeping up the pace in the business operations will remain important. The positive first half and our financial strength place us in a good position to step up the pace at which the company grows in line with our goals.” The full interim report is attached through the link at the end of the press release.
