Gerald Engström, President and CEO, comments:
"The organic growth has accelerated and amounts to 16 percent compared to the
same period the preceding year, adjusted for the effects of foreign exchange.
The cold winter that arrived early in most of Europe has boosted sales of
heating products. Sales of ventilation products were adversely affected by
delayed construction projects and supply problems as a consequence of snow and
cold weather. Overall, our assessment is that the weather nudged sales in a
negative direction."
