COMMENT Swedish industrial manufacturer Indutrade AB has reported third quarter sales of SEK3.2 billion, up 4.6% on the fiscal 2015 figure. Net profit, however, fell 1.2% to SEK239 million. The sales increase reflected the contribution of acquisitions, which added 8 percentage points of gain, with organic revenues down 3 points and currency movements having a marginal effect. In the company’s Fluids & Mechanical Solutions segment, revenues were up 21.8% on the year earlier at SEK385 million. The upturn again came from the contribution of acquisitions, which contributed 24 percentage points of the revenue gain. In the Flow Technology segment, sales slipped 3% on the year prior to SEK531 million.
For the corresponding ninemonth period net sales were up 9.2% on the prior year at SEK9.4 billion, while net profit climbed 8.0% to SEK687 million. “In a market characterised by tepid global growth and weak development of industrial production, demand continues to vary between product segments, countries and companies,” Johnny Alvarsson, Indutrade’s president and CEO, said. “In this challenging market situation, Indutrade has grown during the year both through acquisitions and organically. Activity remains high in the acquisition market, and we see that Indutrade’s business model is attracting many business owners who are considering selling their business.” n www.indutrade.com
