Peab Quarterly Report January - March 2021

"The first quarter always entails lower activity as a result of the season and weather. Since our acquisition of operations in mineral aggregates and paving, this pattern has become even more distinct. At the same time Peab's overall business has become more diversified in terms of countries, products and customers. The first quarter presented improved margins in construction contract operations and housing developments, a good level of orders received and a strong financial position", says Jesper Göransson, President and CEO of Peab.
