“Ratos reported improved EBITA during the first quarter, and organic sales growth was 3.4%. A new strategic direction was introduced during the period, where Ratos will return to being an investment company. New financial targets were also launched, with a clear focus on long-term value creation through active ownership. Other important portfolio changes were made alongside these changes, including the divestment of Expin Group and HL Display’s add-on acquisition of Deinzer to further strengthen the quality of the portfolio and our market position.”
