The Board of Directors confirms the Company's dividend policy but chooses to await the outcome of current transactions before recommending a dividend for 2019 in the Notice to attend the Annual General Meeting.
Ola Serneke, CEO Serneke Group, comments:
- Both within the Company and externally, 2019 was a year marked by major challenges. The year also reflected the Company's view that having the courage to change is crucial, even though decisions may be difficult at that moment. We have vigorously addressed aspects bringing long-term organizational improvement and resulting in a more profitable company.
- Factors impacting earnings negatively included: capacity that has been kept on "standby" at Karlastaden, our long-term initiative in collaboration agreements, the earnings of the civil engineering operations, the restructuring costs for implementing the new organization, amended accounting principles and, last but not least, the final settlement in the sale of the Säve flygplats site. The combined negative impact on earnings of these circumstances in 2019 amounts to approximately SEK 380 million, and to about SEK 2.3 billion in sales.
