The net debt/equity ratio amounted to 0.5 (0.5) at the end of the quarter.
Lindab's President and CEO, Anders Berg, commented:
"Lindab had a strong start to 2016 with positive organic growth, improved operating profit and operating margin. This shows that the business continues to move in the right direction, even though activity levels in our seasonal business are traditionally lower in the first quarter.
Products & Solutions showed the best first-quarter operating profit since 2008 and organic growth for the tenth consecutive quarter. The Nordic region - our largest region - continues its good development. In Sweden, sales were the highest until now in a first quarter. The improvements in ventilation are the main reason for the good development in Products & Solutions.
Building Systems' organic growth of 38 percent contributed to the best first-quarter operating profit and best operating margin for the segment since 2009. This is a result of our focus on key customers and our strategic efforts to expand our business to more countries.
In the first quarter, Lindab launched UltraLink - a unique and groundbreaking measuring technology. The launch is a very important step for Lindab and confirms our ambition of creating energy-efficient solutions and added value to our customers and end users.
During the quarter, Lindab participated in the two largest trade fairs in Europe, Mostra in Italy and Nordbygg in Sweden. At Nordbygg, Scandinavia's largest building and construction fair, Lindab launched products from our two recent acquisitions IMP Klima and MP3 for the first time which have now been adapted and certified for the Nordic markets.
It was announced in the quarter that Lindab will also deliver to the second stage of the construction of an e-commerce facility in Varalöv, Sweden, at a total value of SEK 60 m. During the quarter, we began deliveries to the first stage of the project."
