Adjusted Operating Margin, %

Goal

The objective is to achieve a ­sustainable operating margin above 10 percent.

Outcome 2021
7.7%

Comment Outcome 2021
There was a sharp improvement in operating margin in 2021, despite the challenges in the supply chain. The steps taken towards a more flexible business model with a structural reduction in cost base have had the desired affect. Haldex is on the right path to higher margins and reaching our target as volumes pick up.

Outcome 2021
0.77

Comment Outcome 2021
Net debt has increased over the years partly driven by debt financed R&D expenses. Strong measures and a new capital strategy were put in place during 2020 to reduce net debt. There was a positive trend in net debt / equity during 2021. Haldex is taking steps to become financially self-sufficient.
