CEO COMMENT

“Lagercrantz starts the year strongly”

Lagercrantz’s first quarter (April – June) 2022 was a really good start to the 2022/23 financial year. The market situation remained good for most of our businesses (9% organic growth) and we delivered our highest ever quarterly profit after net financial items of MSEK 232, an increase of 29% from the already strong first quarter of the previous year. Earnings per share increased to SEK 3.00 on a moving 12-month basis and the return on equity amounted to a strong 28%. In addition, in June, we acquired PcP Corporation A/S in Denmark, which is the Group’s largest acquisition to date, Jörgen Wigh summarises.
