The adjusted operating result increased by 14 percent in annual terms to 3.2 billion, which was slightly more than the average forecast among analysts according to Bloomberg.
Order intake fell by 10 percent to 16.6 billion, from 18.9 billion kronor during the third quarter last year. This can be compared to an average forecast of 16.8 billion.
