Risks and uncertainties

AddLife’s earnings and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by various internal factors within AddLife’s control and various external factors over which AddLife has limited influence. AddLife’s most significant external risks are the state of the economy and market trends combined with public sector contracts and policy decisions, as well as competition. The risks and uncertainties are the same as in previous periods. For more information, see the section “Risks and uncertainties” in the administration report, in AddLife’s annual report 2022. The parent company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the group.

The war in Ukraine has not had a significant economic impact on the financial reports, but it can not be ruled out that this will happen in the future. We follow market developments closely, where we notice rising inflation, higher raw material, shipping costs and energy costs and greater uncertainty about interest rate developments. We follow the development in the Middle East but, at this point in time, our assessment is that this don’t have a significant impact on the group.

The Board of Directors and the President and CEO certify that this report for the third quarter provides a true and fair overview of the performance of business, position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies in the Group.
