As previously disclosed ( see press release issued on February 10 ) we have established JLT Software Solutions , a wholly - owned subsidiary dedicated to software development . A CEO has been recruited and the work to build a complementary business operation and a development team has commenced . The aim of this effort is to develop unique customer values and competitive advantages and to generate new and recurring revenue . To meet a growing demand for vehicle - mounted Android computers in our warehousing and logistics segments , we have over the course of 2020 developed a new Android 10 - based vehicle - mount computer , the JLT6012A . During the period , we completed production of the first pilot batch and began deliveries to customers , which currently conduct test runs in their respective environments ( see press release issued on February 10 ) . A complete launch will follow later in the year . Net sales totaled MSEK 29 in the first quarter , which , despite a negative foreign exchange impact . constitutes an 11 percent increase over the corresponding period last year . Order intake was in line with the previous year , ending at MSEK 28 , which is a slight increase after currency adjustments . The operations generated an operating profit of MSEK 2.0 , compared with the MSEK -0.9 operating loss that JLT reported for the corresponding period last year . As a consequence of the corona pandemic in interaction with other market events , there is a talked about worldwide shortage of electronic componentry . How this will unfold is difficult to predict , but thanks to our own development and manufacturing facilities in Sweden , we have managed to make swift product adaptations and secure long - term access to material . To date , we have been able to maintain deliveries and lead times in relation to our customers . We have seen an increased level of activity in our target markets , and with new products and solutions waiting in the wings . I look to the future with confidence and optimism . The prevailing restrictions of travel and visits have held us back for the last year , and as they are eased , we will be well placed to invest in the future and continue to execute our growth strategy , which is based on strengthening our sales channel , marketing and product offering . Per Holmberg , CEO
