Message from CEO, Thomas Öström
The third quarter of 2017 has been one of the best quarters in the company's history and contained multiple milestones. We received two orders within new fields (geothermal and container shipping) and the order backlog increased from 25 to 126 modules corresponding over 350 MSEK at the end of the quarter. In parallel, thousands of hours of hard work to design, produce and deliver the top quality that our customers expect.
We are scaling up the business for sustainable and profitable future growth and investing in the build-up of our sales, delivery and service organization, resulting in a higher operational loss. Our revenues during the quarter have, as expected, been modest due to varying time from contract to delivery. The successful capital raise has added a stable base to expand and together with the Nasdaq First North Premier listing will power the company to the next level.
The first modules rolled out of the production site at Mastec in Vaggeryd during September 2017, in line with set quality requirements. Fully ramped production rate at the Vaggeryd site is 2,500 modules per year. The test site in Norrköping has also been prepared to perform fully functional system production tests.
