  60% confidence

• Rapid cost reduction is not possible without risking the ability to respond quickly to a subsequent increase in demand

  60% confidence

• The weakening of the Swedish krona had a strong negative impact on both operating and net profit since a large portion of sales in Sweden takes place in local currency

  60% confidence

• The order books of both Estonian and Swedish units are higher than average, and the volume of orders under tender provides basis to assume significant portion will materialize as revenue during current financial year

  60% confidence

  60% confidence

• The primary reason for weak financial performance was disruptions in the supply chain with delayed or postponed deliveries of materials and components causing order fulfillment to shift into future periods

  60% confidence

  60% confidence

• Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affect Harju Elekter mainly indirectly through global supply chain, logistics, and input prices, extending delivery times and increasing freight costs
