In 2022, Fira\u2019s net sales increased to EUR 268.5 (223.8) million. EBITDA increased by 8.1% to EUR 10.2 (9.5) million, with operating profit being EUR 6.7 (6.3) million. The operating profit rate was 2.5% (2.8%). Order books totalled EUR 292 (225) million and the number of personnel was 307 (281) at the end of 2022.* <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2212 \u201cIn 2022, Fira\u2019s commercial construction showed an unprecedented increase, with order books being at a record high at the end of the year. Residential construction continued its strong performance, even though the market situation became more difficult towards the year-end. Order books of pipe renovations grew steadily, as the bottleneck created by the coronavirus pandemic gradually started to clear up. In modernisations, two large contracts were signed during the year. I am very pleased that our positive development continued and we were able to increase both our net sales and operating profit in 2022. Our strategy has proven effective, even in the challenging market situation, and we are setting our sights on this year with our solvency high,\u201d says Jari Koivu<\/strong>, CEO of Fira. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its annual review, Fira published its second sustainability report, which includes information about the company\u2019s sustainability goals and the work done for its environmental and social responsibility, as well as good governance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2212 \u201cResponsibility and sustainable development are at the core of our strategy and business operations. Our efficient and environmentally sound solutions help our customers achieve their environmental and carbon neutrality targets, in addition to reducing our own carbon footprint. During 2022, we built a sustainability roadmap for Fira, which will guide our operations even more closely in the future. Key successes last year were the lowest accident frequency in our history, the record-high job satisfaction, and the very high recycling rate for construction and demolition waste,\u201d says Koivu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about Fira\u2019s performance in 2022 is available in the annual review and sustainability report published on 23 March 2023. See link below<\/p>\n\n\n
