Performance is on the path towards 2023 guidance and the company’s financial targets for 2025. When speaking of this, Tjärnström said, "I previously communicated that the cost optimization actions would strengthen our path towards our 2025 finanical targets. The first quarter of 2023 has shown encouraging performance and I see positive signs across our business".
