The industrial services provider has shown solid results in the first quarter of 2021 , reporting a clearly positive EBITA and improved year on - year cash flow development . The company is experiencing a rise in activity level in most of its markets . Orders received again reached the € 1 billion level , with a robust European E & M business as well as a sizeable project in North America . Revenues were down against the prior year level when sales had not yet been materially affected by the COVID - 19 pandemic nor by the substantial oil price reduction in March 2020. Nevertheless , with positive EBITA reported and net profit , the company is demonstrating the increased cost agility it has built up during the past year . " This encouraging first quarter shows that we are benefiting from the structural improvements and reduced cost base we introduced in recent years , especially in 2020. One of our goals is a less seasonal earnings profile , which our operations achieve thanks to more agile capacity management - especially in the first months of the year , when revenues are typically lowest , " commented interim CEO and CFO Christina Johansson . " On that basis , we are happy to confirm our 2021 outlook today and expect further progress during the year .
