Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: It's Carl here from Nordea. A couple of questions for me. Firstly, on order intake and order backlog development during the quarter. You gave some
flavor on it, but is it possible to give us any numbers on organic order intake during the quarter and also what portion of that number that is related
to pricing, so we get the sense of the volume development in orders? And also, could you give some flavor on the order development divided by
the dynamic by property type perhaps also by region?
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Very clear. And also given that component shortage is during the quarter, I guess you saw sort of a catch-up effect in some regions, I guess,
especially in North America during the quarter. Is it possible to sort of quantify the catch-up effect on the organic growth in the quarter to know
what the sort of underlying organic growth is and also whether you had a tailwind on the group margins from a higher than usual utilization rate?
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And are you considering in-sourcing a couple of the components? Or is it still -- are you still sort of too small to source some critical components?
Or how do you view the component situation, I mean, post -- not at the big...
Question: Carl Ragnerstam - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. That's also clear. And the final one from my side is a bit on the operating leverage. It looks -- highlight in the quarter given the -- I mean, still
pretty good organic volume growth. I mean what is holding back sort of the drop through in the quarter?
Question: Hjalmar Jernstr÷m - Erik Penser Bank AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes. First one is on the price hikes. Could you elaborate a bit on the price increases in different regions and maybe if there were some particular
markets where the price hikes were more sort of emphasized, please?
Question: Hjalmar Jernstr÷m - Erik Penser Bank AB, Research Division - Analyst
: Perfect. That's very useful. And then a second question. If we look at the organic growth then in the Nordic market, did you see new trends leave
in the quarter, for example, in markets such as Norway? Or was the organic growth an even level throughout the quarter?
