Compared to last year, the number of new units sold is down by about 70%. The falling oil price in combination with the economic sanctions against Russia continue to limit access to capital, resulting in postponed projects and difficulties for customers to finance their investments. In view of this I think we have delivered a strong result during the quarter, especially in terms of cash flow and profitability. We also continue to gain market share. At the end of the quarter, our total market share for the last twelve months was over 10%. · During the quarter we have seen a continued change in product mix, where the lower sales of new machines is compensated by higher sales of parts and used machines. In combination with the cost reductions made, this has led to a significant improvement of our profit margins. We have also reduced our finance costs. In total, this resulted in an after-tax margin of 4% compared to zero in the third quarter last year. · Despite the weak market, we have seen a good cash flow during the year and especially during the third quarter. The operating cash flow during the third quarter amounted to SEK 183m. Thanks to this we managed to end the quarter with a net cash position. · Unfortunately we do not see any signs that the market would recover in the short term and thus expect the rest of 2015 and 2016 to continue to be challenging. However, we remain optimistic about the long term prospects of the Russian construction equipment market.
