Statement by the President and CEO

"Rejlers' journey of improvement continues. In the first quarter of the year, we are showing a strong growth of 16.8 per cent, of which 9.7 per cent is organic growth. We are also reporting a new first-quarter record, with an EBITA of SEK 90.1 million (76.4). At the same time, the operating margin improved to 9.1 per cent (9.0).

It is worth noting that SEK 10 million in non-recurring costs within Rejlers Sweden is charged to the profit for the quarter. These costs are attributable to future integration costs for our large acquisition of Eurocon and an impairment in a property-related project. Excluding this SEK 10 million of a non-recurring nature, EBITA increased to SEK 100.1 million and the EBITA margin increased to 10.1 per cent (9.0).

Just as pleasing as the improved profitability is that our efforts to create the industry’s most attractive employer brand continue to yield results. In the first quarter, we had a net increase of around 100 consultants", says Viktor Svensson, President and CEO, Rejlers AB.
