¹ During the first quarter of 2024, a provision of earn-out related to the 2020 acquisition of the American company Rapid Learning Institute (RLI) was reversed, impacting the net financial items positively by MSEK 28.2 and thereby the profit before and after tax. The reversal has no further impact on the 2024 first quarter Group income statement or the Group balance sheet per March 31, 2024. For increased comparability, the profit before and after tax in this interim report is presented, including and excluding this reversal.
