The reason behind the incorrectly reported information is that changes in internal processes at the beginning of 2014 were, on a group level, not correctly collected and consolidated when summarizing information from the subsidiaries.

“Reporting incorrect order intake during the first two quarters is extremely unfortunate. We have internally made the necessary changes to make sure we communicate the correct information going forward. During our internal review we have not found any other errors in the reported figures. It is our assessment that this adjustment of the reported order intake will have no effect on the general market outlook previously communicated in our half year report”, says Staffan Dahlström CEO HMS Networks AB
