Here are Viljakainen’s comments on the Q&A session from the silent period call. ![]()
The company’s comments on the market environment and operational performance were well in line with the cautious assumptions we made in connection with the Q1 report. The sluggishness in construction continues, and cost pressures still weigh on Koskisen’s margins, but according to the call, there were no further major operational challenges for Q2. Q2 is seasonally strong for Koskisen, but in Q3, summer production shutdowns and the holiday season in Central Europe will once again slow down the numbers this year.
