CEO comment:

•During the fourth quarter, we signed contracts for 17 new plants with a total capacity of 29 MW, which gives ASAB a very strong order book. We are also seeing price increases for electricity in our most important province, Zhejiang, which will have a positive effect on our future revenues.
