The Swedish industrial equipment manufacturer reported the results on October 27, while cautioning that demand could decline slightly in the following quarter.

Key Takeaways

  • Order intake reached SEK 23,233 million in the third quarter.
  • Operating cash flow rose to SEK 3,373 million from SEK 2,206 million a year earlier.

Alfa Laval earnings and cash flow

The company reported GAAP earnings of SEK 5.40 per share. Adjusted EBITA improved to SEK 3,364 million, although the EBITA margin slipped slightly to 18.1%.

Cash flow from operations increased from the prior-year quarter. Alfa Laval makes equipment for separation, heat transfer and fluid handling, serving industries including energy, marine, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

Orders and the demand outlook
