Today, the Board of Directors of H+H International A/S (hereinafter referred to as "H+H" or "the Company") has adopted the Interim Financial Report for the second quarter ("Q2 2022") and the first six months of 2022 ("H1 2022").
"This was an exceptionally strong quarter for H+H fuelled by continued high activity and customer demand. I am pleased with the solid performance across the business in the first half of 2022, which demonstrates our continued ability to negotiate sales price increases with customers to offset the continued inflationary pressure. While the current macroeconomic landscape is clearly causing uncertainties and is expected to weigh on future construction activity, we maintain our financial expectations for the full year. Our focus will remain on delivering strong operational performance and continuing to service customers across our footprint."
The financial outlook for the full year 2022 is maintained:
The expectations for H+H's financial performance in 2022 are based on certain specific and general assumptions. Please refer to the H1 2022 Interim Financial Report for more information about the specific and general assumptions.
