CEO's comments
The first quarter of the financial year was strongly marked by the effects of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the outcome was, however, somewhat better than we had feared at the beginning of the quarter. Sales fell by 4 percent and organic sales decreased by 7 percent compared with the corresponding period last year. The EBITA margin was 10.9 percent, a decrease of only 0.7 percentage points compared with the corresponding period last year. Our companies have once again demonstrated their ability to act quickly and efficiently and have taken measures to adapt their costs to lower business volumes. For the full CEO comment, please see the Interim Report.
