Inwido AB (publ) Q3 2020 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst : My first question relates to the consumer market. Could you please give us some insight in what's going on in the specific countries that you operate in? And especially as it relates to Business Area North. You mentioned that consumer-oriented business units in Sweden are holding up quite nicely while consumers in Norway and Finland are acting more cautiously. And overall, I noticed that sales within consumer was -- within this area declined by 2% year-over-year, but at the same time, your order backlog increased by 7% for this business area. So how much of that is driven by the consumer market? And what are your expectations as it relates to demand for Norway and Finland going forward?

Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst : That makes total sense. If I could also move on to the industry market then. Why then it's declining growth in Business Area North but pretty solid developments in Business Area South, so what is driving this development? Is it related to specific region or market or something else, I think growth was up about 44% within industry in Business Area South.

Question: Adela Dashian - Handelsbanken Capital Markets AB, Research Division - Analyst : Got it. And then finally, on the U.K. and Ireland, you mentioned that operations have reopened, but not running at the same capacity as prepandemic levels. Could you give us some details on what capacity levels you're currently running at? And how customers within these markets are acting given all that certainty that's going around?

Question: Julius Rapeli - SEB, Research Division - Analyst : Congrats on an impressive report. Only one question from my side regarding the competitive situation within the different markets and especially regarding pricing. Could you just comment a bit on the pricing situation in different markets at the moment, and what you're seeing and how this COVID crisis is impacting the situation?
