COMMENTS BY LARS CORNELIUSSON, CEO AND PRESIDENT:
- Although the decrease of the market has been slowing down lately, the total market for new construction machines in Russia during the first nine months was still 7-10% lower than the same period last year. The general uncertainty in the market and lack of financing continue to depress the demand. At the same time, however, we see a pick-up in our customers’ machine utilization. This has a positive effect on our aftermarket sales and should further contribute to the existing pent-up demand to renew the machine population in Russia.
- Despite of the weak market, we managed to deliver a relatively strong result for the quarter with both increased revenue and increased profitability compared to last year. We have continued to sell more of large machines, while at the same time growing sales of parts and service nicely. The earnings per ordinary share (calculated after dividends on preference shares) continue to be positive.
- At the same time we continue to develop our business by adding complementary products. As mentioned in the Q2 report, we signed an agreement with LiuGong Dressta Machinery in July under which we became the official distributor for Dressta bulldozers and dozer-based pipelayers all over Russia. In September, we also signed an agreement with Rottne Industri AB under which we will become the official distributor for Rottne forestry machines all over Russia. We are proud of these announcements, which underline the strength of our distribution network. The addition of these products, which fit perfectly into our existing offering of products from Volvo CE and Terex Trucks, is fully in line with our strategy to use the network to distribute complementary products.
