L Ja JLT Mobile Computers AB ( publ ) jitmobile.com Interim report January - June 2021 Order intake MSEK 83.1 ( 58.0 ) Net sales MSEK 65.7 ( 56.6 ) Operating profit MSEK 5.5 ( 0.9 ) Profit after taxes MSEK 4.6 ( 0.4 ) CEO comments The activity on our primary markets continue to increase and we do a strong second quarter with an order intake of record high MSEK 55 , which is an almost doubling compared to the same quarter last year . Net sales amounted to MSEK 36 , an increase by 21 % . The current global component shortage results in long lead times and increasing prices for several of the parts of our devices . However , thanks to having our own development and production locally in Sweden we have been able to do product adaptations as needed and secure long - term material supply . Thereby we have managed to keep up customer deliveries while maintaining a stable gross margin of 42 % during the quarter , compared to 40 % last year . The situation currently seems promising , but the component shortage is not over , and it is difficult to predict how it will impact our delivery capacity in the time ahead . As part of our long - term strategy to increase our service offering and with the ambition to create unique competitive advantages , generate new business opportunities and recurring earnings , the subsidiary JLT Software Solutions was established during the first quarter of the year . The CEO and development manager are working on a proof of concept for initial business conversations and future customer projects . We are in the final steps of Google certifying our coming JLT6012A rugged computer , a vehicle mount device with Android operating system to be launched this fall . The coming computer has been developed as a response to an increased demand for Android based products for use in challenging environments as it can simplify and make the use of mobile devices more effective for our customers . Half way through the year our markets are slowly starting to open up again , Meeting and travelling restrictions have hampered us throughout the year , as these are now being eased we are in a strong position , ready to execute on our growth strategy to strengthen our sales channel , marketing and our product offering . With a strong quarter behind us , a world starting to return to what it used to be and new products and solutions around the corner I am hopeful and optimistic about the future . Per Holmberg , CEO
