HiQ AND ASCOM WIRELESS SOLUTIONS SIGNS NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

HiQ signs a new framework agreement with Ascom Wireless Solutions, specialists on wireless internal communication in health care organizations.

The agreement covers services within such areas as software development and quality assurance, and it applies through the end of 2013.

"We are very pleased with HiQ's work and have had a strong partnership with them for many years. With this new agreement we are looking forward to continued fruitful collaboration," says Ralf Kihl, Framework Agreement Manager at Ascom Wireless Solutions R&D. 

Ascom Wireless Solutions is a global leader in wireless on-site communication in the health care area, simplifying the exchange of information between systems, staff and patients. The solutions are customized to meet customer needs through a combination of nurse call, cordless phones and pagers, integrated with different hospital systems. 

"Ascom Wireless Solutions and HiQ have had a strong partnership since 2005. The newly signed framework agreement is a sign of confidence in HiQ and a confirmation that we have a satisfied customer. We feel inspired to continue working with Ascom Wireless Solutions, and provide expert competence and services," says Jerker Lindstén, Managing Director of HiQ in Gothenburg.

For nearly 20 years HiQ has provided clients with know-how and innovative solutions in the area of communication.

”HiQ has extensive experience in telecom and we are passionate about developing solutions that improve and simplify people’s lives. In the collaboration with Ascom Wireless Solutions we have the privilege to work with exactly that and the extended confidence makes us proud, says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO at HiQ.

Increased profit and strong cash flow for HiQ

Sales for the first half of the year increase to SEK 965.5 million. Operating profit for the same period increases to SEK 121.4 million. In the second quarter of the year, sales increase to SEK 477.2 million. Cash flow for the first half of the year amounts to SEK 137.3 million and liquid assets total SEK 110.3 million. This means that our financial position remains strong. During the quarter, as announced earlier, we divested our holding in Westend Affärscentrum Oy, which is our former office space in Finland. The divestment generated a profit of SEK 22.8 million.

“As usual, the second quarter is seasonally weak with extra days off and leave. This year even more challenging compared to last year’s second quarter, with significantly less time. All in all, the first half of the year we deliver strong earnings in Finland, while in Sweden we do not live up to our expectations. To some extent, developments in Sweden were affected by weaker demand from the public sector and locally in the telecom sector in Blekinge,” says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.
