Free cash flow excluding acquisitions was SEK 2,035 million, though including acquisitions it was negative at SEK -12,354 million.

L'azienda ha registrato ricavi pari a 22.285 milioni di SEK, in calo rispetto ai 22.748 milioni di SEK precedenti, mentre l'utile operativo è diminuito a 1.094 milioni di SEK rispetto ai 4.814 milioni di SEK dell'anno precedente.

Le sfide operative hanno incluso impatti negativi dovuti a un dollaro USA più debole (SEK -600 milioni), minori tariffe di trattamento e manutenzioni programmate negli impianti di fusione, che hanno inciso sull'utile operativo per -400 milioni di SEK.
