JLT Mobile Computers AB (publ) publishes interim report for January–June 2023


Växjö, Sweden, 10 August 2023 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a leading supplier of rugged computers for demanding environments, publishes its interim report for the period January–June 2023 today.

Summary of key figures

  • Order intake MSEK 55.0 (85.2)
  • Net sales MSEK 87.6 (89.9)
  • Operating profit MSEK 0.0 (3.5)
  • Profit after taxes MSEK 0.1 (2.6)

In short

  • When going back to normal lead times after the global component shortage customers no longer place their orders long in advance, additionally there is an increased caution with new purchases and reduced deployment rates due to uncertainties in the economic outlook. These new conditions have negatively impacted on the results for the period, which is also reflected in half-yearly reports from other leading companies in the industry.
  • The subsidiary JLT France has seen over 30% higher revenue during the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year.
  • In May, a 33% stake in JLT's Australian sales partner Control Synergy was acquired, setting the stage for increased growth in Australia and eventually across the APAC region.
  • Ongoing rollout of JLT Insights™, a Business Intelligence solution (BI) that enables more efficient workflows for customers and minimizes downtime.
  • Organizational changes aimed at streamlining global operations have been implemented during the period.
  • The decline in orders is believed to be a result of current economic macro conditions; increased growth and improved profitability are anticipated as target markets recover.
