Volati's results better than expected
Volati announces that the Group's results for Q2 2020 are better than it believes the market is expecting. According to preliminary figures for Q2, the Group's net sales increased by 6 percent to SEK 1,889 (1,776) million and EBITA increased by 41 percent to SEK 181 (129) million compared with the same quarter the previous year. For the first six months, EBITA increased by 46 percent to SEK 243 (166) million compared with the same period the previous year.
"Volati has continued to develop positively in the second quarter with very strong earnings growth. Since the IPO in 2016, we have had average annual EBITA growth of 19 percent. Our growth during the quarter has been driven by good development in most of our business areas. This is the result of long-term, consistent work to develop well-managed business units with strong positions in their markets and a clear focus on, and ability to generate, earnings growth," says Volati CEO Mårten Andersson.
All figures presented in this press release are preliminary and have not been audited or reviewed by the auditor.
