Michael Berglin, CEO Serneke Group, comments:

"Our earnings have been impacted negatively, mainly by three factors: Increased input costs and slowdown in the market, structural changes we have implemented in the company, as well as our increased provisions for disputes in connection with older projects undertaken in the Company’s growth phase. Looking ahead, our change of focus and strengthened processes are building the resilience we lacked in 2022."

"Despite concerns in the market, we increased our sales to SEK 9,205 million (8,735) in 2022, thanks largely to a continued high rate of production at Karlatornet and to our Middle and South regions contributing increased production volumes. The slowdown in the housing market was reinforced towards the end of the year, although continued investments in public properties, and our ambition to steer towards a larger share of public customers, resulted in an increase of SEK 7,093 million (6,345) in order bookings for the year."
