Comments from the CEO

In the third quarter of 2020, Adapteo's Net sales, Rental sales, and earnings all came in at good levels compared to the first and second quarter this year, which underlines the resilience in our business model. This stable development in sales and earnings has been achieved in a quarter when a global pandemic has significantly reduced the size of important private market segments and delayed decisions among public-sector customers. The main pillars supporting us in times like this are long-term contracts with public-sector customers.

The resulting good cashflow has allowed for discretionary capital expenditure to grow our building portfolio, making it even more future-proof and energy-efficient. With almost half of the quarter's growth capex destined for already won contracts in the German market, we have been able to grow and capture market share in this market. We have also made a strategic acquisition for further growth.
