Interim report, May–January 2021/22

Strong demand, and supply chain challenges

The demand for Elekta’s solutions continued to be strong in the third quarter, the fifth consecutive quarter with underlying order growth, resulting in Elekta’s strongest order backlog ever. However, the global supply chain challenges remained, and revenue and margins came in lower than last year. We are fully committed to returning to revenue growth and margin expansion.
