PRESIDENT AND CEO JUHO NUMMELA : Demand for PONSSE forest machines remained excellent during the third quarter . The good work situation of our customers was reflected positively in all our business areas , and strong growth continued . Ponsse's order flow during the third quarter totalled EUR 219.5 million , increasing our order books to a record - high level of EUR 402.3 million . While the availability of components remained very challenging , we were ultimately able to manufacture all PONSSE forest machines in our production programme . The quarter was an excellent success in terms of growth , profitability and cash flows . Currently , Russia , Northern Europe and the Americas are showing the highest demand . In practice , all our market areas are growing well . Our maintenance services continued their very strong growth , and demand for trade - in machines has been high . Our cash flow was very strong during the third quarter . The availability of parts and components continues to be a challenge due to high demand for machine and equipment manufacturing . The availability of components decreased during the quarter , with the largest challenges being associated with products in the semiconductor industry and the availability of hydraulic components . The imbalance between demand and supply has an impact not only through lower availability , but also through rising costs . What makes this challenging for Ponsse is that these increased costs cannot be wholly transferred directly to our customers . This is affected by the far- reaching order books in our production , the pricing of already agreed machine deals and our Ponsse Oyj .
