UNDERLYING ORGANIC GROWTH AND ROBUST EARNINGS IMPROVEMENT
“The third quarter of 2024 was a strong quarter for Addnode Group, with underlying organic growth. EBITA improved by 52 percent to SEK 200 m and earnings per share increased by 181 percent to SEK 0.73. Although the economic situation was characterized by uncertainty, our strong positions in segments with structural underlying growth provide good prospects for upselling to existing customers.”
