Good morning everybody. Welcome to HMS Networks, or quarter one, 2025 presentation. Today, as always, it's our dynamic duo of myself, Stefan Ostrom and Joachim Neal presenting, and we have an agenda that is pretty much standards. I will show a few slides about the business, and then Joaquim will make a deep dive into the numbers and we finish up with the Q&A at the end.
Some of you have already seen the report. We think it's pretty good, but also some important things to highlight. For example, when we look at our net sales, confusing that we have 17% on the organic, but still plus 44% on total.
And you can explain this in more details. I don't go into this, but. And if you look on the order intake, we are very happy to see that the organic order intake is finally on a double digit positive thing again, and, our M&As from last year fully kicking now and the 97% of order intake driven by M&A, of course.
Adjusted EBIT develops well, SEK218 million, and we are close to our profit margin of 25%
