Gerald Engström, CEO and president comments:

" Organic growth has revived, and profitability has improved, so the second
quarter was satisfactory. However, we are not completely pleased, as growth is
uneven and has not returned to all markets. We also see potential for
improvement in several companies in the Group where we are not satisfied with
the results achieved."
