Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst
: A couple of questions from me. First of all, you highlighted an outlook section of the earnings release that you're prepared to initiate cost-reduction
measures if demand falls as a result of the virus. Could you give us some more information on what we can expect those actions to potentially look
like if we reach that point?
Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. But did you start seeing the benefits of that already in Q1? Or do you expect the majority of it to come in the second quarter of 2020?
Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Good. And then on the consumer renovation market, especially in the Nordics, I mean, it's subject more to the coronavirus here, especially
the majority of your sales come from this specific segment. What are you doing to mitigate the risk further to clients in the consumer sales?
Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Generally for the consumer sales specifically.
Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then finally, if I may just ask about your outlook on acquisitions. I mean, I assume that's not #1 in your priority list at the moment. But is
it fair to assume that the current situation will result in further opportunities to buy companies that have taken a harder hit than you have due to
the virus outbreak?
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: It's Carl here from Nordea. First of all, I mean, looking at your order intake, it seems quite decent, as you said. Can you give some comment on both
the North and South on the order intake in April?

APRIL 23, 2020 / 8:00AM, INWI.ST - Q1 2020 Inwido AB (publ) Earnings Call
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Perfect. But I guess, April is significantly weaker than the numbers we have seen in Q1, right?
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And regarding Denmark, the order seems also there quite nice. I mean did you see any lockdown effect in Q1 in Denmark? And what have
you seen in that market, I mean, when exiting the quarter?
