- Net sales in the third quarter increased by 15.3% compared to the same period in 2023. The new customer agreements that were added during the year contributed to this, while the growth was somewhat slowed down by a negative development in USD/SEK and EUR/SEK exchange rates.
- Net earnings decreased by 13.3% compared to the same period in 2023. This is an effect of the investment that has been carried out in recent quarters where we have increased resources in both sales and technology to increase our scalability and handle a higher inflow of new airline customers in the coming years.
- Cashflow increased by 47.9% compared to the same period in 2023. Overdue customer invoices from previous quarters have largely now been paid and the remaining overdue accounts receivable are expected to be paid after the end of the period.
”We now close the third quarter with continued strong sales and net income. In addition, cashflow increased significantly thanks to customer payments of overdue invoices. We note that the negative trend of increasing accounts receivables seen during the year has now been turned. AVTECH is now better equipped than ever with the resources to grow. Completed airline tests and a pipeline of additional airlines now give us good opportunities for growth at the end of the year and the beginning of next year.", said CEO, David Rytter.
The full report for the third quarter will be published as planned in the interim report on October 25th, 2024.
