“After the third quarter of the year we are 3.0% below in net sales compared to the same period in 2018, and 24.9% below on orders received. This is still mainly related to a lag in orders in the medical device industry segment. In part we see this as the industry being more cautious when it comes

to spending, but the decision time for these large corporation is also usually long, and we cannot control the timeframe for the final decisions. In view of this, the company deviates from the previous guidance on net sales growth in the lower part of the interval 30-40% for the current financial year” says Göran Malmberg, CEO of Mentice AB (publ).
