Strong earnings improvement partly strengthened by early contract renewals
“The market trend was stable. EBITA improved significantly, and the increase in underlying earnings was partly strengthened by early renewals of three-year agreements in the Design Management division. A cost-saving program was implemented in the PLM division, and the Process Management Division strengthened its EBITA margin. We completed new acquisitions and have several ongoing acquisition processes in progress.”

President and CEO
