Demand remains good and cloud order intake doubled y-o-y
Demand for Proact’s services has continued to be good during the quarter, and cloud order intake of SEK 158m (+111% y-o-y) shows signs of strengths. Contracts are typically rolled out over 3-5 years, which provides a good foundation for service revenue growth ahead. A better component shortage situation drove system deliveries in the quarter and resulted in the strong system sales growth, while the order backlog remains at higher than normal levels providing another source of growth ahead.
