• Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.44 (1.66)
• The equity/assets ratio was 39.9 percent (42.7)
• Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -262 million (209)
• Order bookings amounted to SEK 1,177 million (1,128)
• The order backlog amounted to SEK 5,973 million (7,671)
   

Ola Serneke, CEO Serneke Group, comments:

- The order bookings in the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,177 million, a small increase compared with the same period the year before (1,128), which shows that we can compensate for the decline in the housing segment through a strong offering in our business areas.

- In Business Area Construction, where growth amounted to 6 percent in the quarter and the operating margin was nearly 2 percent, the declining economy was the main explanation of the lower figures. A wait-and-see attitude in the market has meant that some large projects have not gotten started as planned.
