The operating result was 98 million Kronor (103), and the net result was 63 million Kronor (72)."Duni's sales at fixed exchange rates fell by 1.6 percent during the third quarter. This is attributable entirely to weak sales growth within Retail and Tissue,” said Fredrik von Oelreich, CEO of Duni.”Within Tissue, sales to the hygiene products sector weakened, while internal deliveries increased somewhat. Thanks to satisfactory capacity utilization, combined with higher productivity, Tissue is reporting an improvement in income for the quarter,” von Oelreich added. /AA
