Statement by the President and CEO
“Rejlers grew by 10 per cent in the second quarter at the same time that we implemented an action programme to ensure continued good profitability in a rapidly changing market situation as a result of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Our adjusted EBITA (EBITA excluding non-recurring costs) for the second quarter is SEK 43.5 million (32.4) with an improved margin of 6.2 per cent (5.1).
The economic crisis in the wake of the pandemic impacted Rejlers’ markets in the second quarter, primarily our business focused on manufacturing industries. The areas of energy, telecommunications, smart buildings and infrastructure have fared better. Overall, we are pleased with the order bookings in the current market situation. This is evidence of successful sales work and that Rejlers’ brand is seen as secure in turbulent times among the Nordic buyers of expert engineering services“, says Viktor Svensson, President and CEO, Rejlers AB.
