THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE OF HiQ PROPOSES SUSANNE EHNBÅGE AS NEW BOARD MEMBER

The Nomination Committee of HiQ has resolved to propose the Annual General Meeting 2018 to elect Susanne Ehnbåge as new Board member.

Susanne Ehnbåge, born1979, is currently President and CEO of the Netonnet Group but will during 2018 take over as CEO of Lindex. The Nomination Committee’s view is that Susanne Ehnbåges’ skills will strengthen the Board, not least through her experiences in transformation to more online-based sales.

"We are very happy that Susanne has accepted to be a part of the HiQ Board. Susanne will with her competences further strengthen an already strong and well-functioning Board”, says Joachim Spetz, chairman of the Nomination Committee.

HiQ’s Nomination Committee has the following members: Joachim Spetz (Swedbank Robur fonder), Maria Rengefors (Nordea fonder), Johan Strandberg (SEB Investment Management) and Gunnel Duveblad (Chairman of HiQ).

“This project will deliver innovative new digital solutions with a sharp focus on sustainability and fully aligns with HiQ’s vision to make the world better and a little more fun.

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.
