The interim report summarizes Ramirent's financial results for Q1 2013. Net sales decreased 7% to MEUR 152.8 due to lower sales in Finland, Norway, and Denmark, though profitability excluding non-recurring items was close to last year's level. EBITA was MEUR 22.6 compared to MEUR 14.4 in Q1 2012. Segment reviews showed stable demand in Sweden but weaker construction activity affecting Denmark, Finland, and Europe East. In March, Ramirent also finalized the formation of a joint venture, Fortrent, in Russia and Ukraine.
