Sales and EBITA in line with previous year

In a still challenging market, we have been able to balance short-term profitability and long-term value growth to deliver an EBITA in line with the previous year. Completed acquisitions and implemented cost-saving programmes have had a positive impact on the quarter. Structurally, Volati is in very good shape and as market conditions improve, we will be well positioned to gradually reverse the market-driven decline in earnings in recent years.

Andreas Stenbäck, President and CEO
