•    Net sales for the period totalled SEK 1,302.2 million (1,100.1) an increase of 18.4%, whereof about 8% related to inflation driven cost increases.
•    Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly with SEK 14.2 million to SEK 88.5 million (74.3) compared with the third quarter 2021. 
•    Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 22.0 million compared with 2021 (-16,3) an improvement of SEK 38,3 million. The difference is mainly due to impairments of assets which affect the result with SEK -1,3 million (-40.8) in the third quarter.
•    Cash flow from operations reached SEK 44.3 million (13.7), mainly due to new extended deferred settlement of taxes in Sweden with SEK 66.1 million.
