Second quarter 2021

- Adjusted operating profit improved by 28 percent from SEK 404 million to SEK 518 million – sales growth and improvement programs were the factors behind the profit improvement
- Overall, parcels volumes rose 21 percent (14), driven by continued growth in business-to-consumer and recovery in business-to- business
