INVISIO Interim report January - March 2022: Record high order intake and order book - but lagging deliveries

CEO comment
“The activity level in the market continues to rise. It rose substantially towards the end of 2021 and this trend continued into 2022, which is clearly evident in the record high order intake and historically high order book value. However, the pandemic continues to create delays both to deliveries of components and outgoing deliveries to customers, which has impacted sales. However, we are well-positioned to benefit from the large and increasing defense investments in coming years. There is therefore every reason to take a positive view of INVISIO’s continued development.”
