In the quarterly report for the fourth quarter of 2021, Pricer announced that increased prices for electronic components, raw materials, and transportation was the main reason for a lower operating profit compared with the same period last year. The elevated price situation has persisted and, in some cases, increased during the first quarter of 2022, which has had a negative effect on Pricer’s earnings. In addition, negative currency effects have further weighed on earnings.
Pricer’s sales are expected to amount to around SEK 465 (393) million, order intake to SEK 551 (443) million, and operating profit (EBIT) to around SEK -10 (17.3) million.
The expected operating profit includes negative currency effects of approximately SEK 10 million.
Several profitability-improving measures have been further intensified, which are expected to have an effect during the second half of 2022.
Pricer will present the full report for the first quarter of 2022 on April 26, 2022. All figures in this press release are preliminary and unaudited.
