JLT Mobile Computers AB (publ) publishes interim report for January–September 2023

Växjö, Sweden, 27 October 2023 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a leading supplier of rugged computers for demanding environments, publishes interim report for January–September 2023 today.

Summary of key figures

• Order intake MSEK 78.9 (112.5)
• Net sales MSEK 117.0 (126.9)
• Operating profit MSEK -2.6 (5.1)
• Profit after taxes MSEK -2.0 (3.8)

In short

• The result for the period is affected by current economic conditions dampening the demand, particularly in the warehousing and transportation sector in the American market. This is also reported by other leading companies in the industry.
• A significant project client for JLT filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August. Anticipated deliveries in the project of approximately MSEK 15 in 2023 and 2024 will not be realized. Fortunately, the bankruptcy has not resulted in any credit losses for JLT.
• Cost control has been tightened and a reorganization has been made in order to increase efficiency and create a stronger focus on growth.
• Inventory levels were proactively increased during the component shortage, the decreased demand in 2023 and longer lead times for components have led to further increases. Efforts are now underway to actively reduce inventory levels gradually. Currently, there is no significant risk of obsolescence.
• The decline in orders is believed to be a result of current economic macro conditions; increased growth and improved profitability are anticipated as target markets recover.
