Statement from President and CEO Peter Rejler

Compared to last year, Rejlers showed growth of 12 per cent over the quarter, 7 per cent of which came through organic growth. The fourth quarter shows improved profitability in line with our target of an 8 per cent operating margin over the course of a business cycle. The improvement in profit is mainly due to a greater volume of orders in Sweden and Finland compared to the previous year. Due to strong cash flow, we have an unchanged dividend.

I believe we will see a positive trend for Rejlers’ services in 2015. The infrastructure and energy market is maintaining a high level of investment, and the market situation is good for construction investments in cities. We are also seeing signs of the industrial market stabilising. Recruitment is a priority area for meeting the demand for our services.

In Sweden, this demand has risen, especially within telecommunications and the energy sector. In the second half of the year we restructured operations in Sweden, which temporarily led to a lower level of organic growth.

In Finland, our volume of orders has improved significantly despite the weak economy. We have focused on adapting our operations to profitable areas and developed new services to meet the needs of the market. We see good opportunities for continued growth in the area of infrastructure and energy, and we have won new industrial assignments.

In Norway, we have started to see the effects of the programmes of measures and the restructuring implemented successively in 2014. We do, however, need to increase the volume of orders and further canvass the market in order to achieve satisfactory profitability in Norway.

I now have many building blocks in place, and it is in-spiring to develop operations together with my employees. There are favorable conditions to grow in areas with good profitability, and I expect that we will reach our previous growth target 3x2015. We will achieve our new growth target 2020-3030-4040 by being the most successful and healthy company in our industry in the Nordic region.
