"As we have communicated earlier, the first half of 2010 will be challenging
with tough comparables. This has proven true as growth in the first quarter was
rather modest. However, we are comfortable with our outlook for 2010 of around
10% sales growth with an operating margin above 12% at current exchange rates.
Given the growth at the start of the year, we will focus our resources even more
towards top line growth. On the positive side, we see that currencies are moving
strongly in our favour and if that remains it will have a positive effect on our
operating margins for 2010," CEO Magnus Brännström comments.
