Comment from Jean-Luc Desire, President & CEO:
“Net sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,434m (1,138), equivalent to an organic growth of 14 percent, which is the highest since the split of the Group in 2011. We achieved sales growth in across all customer segments in all three regions. Region Americas and region EMEA reported an organic growth of 21 and 6 percent respectively, largely driven by the price increases introduced to handle the increased costs in the supply chain. I am particularly pleased that region APAC achieved an organic growth of 12 percent and successfully increased sales despite the continued market downturn in China and the logistics challenges following Covid-19 outbreaks in the country. The aftermarket segment had an organic growth of 19 percent while both the trailer and truck segments grew 9 percent organically. According to our assessment of external market data, we are taking market share in the quarter on a global basis. Compared with the previous quarter, net sales increased by 13 percent.”
