The delivery time for, above all, robotic lawnmowers and garden tractors is negatively affected, despite high demand, by the component shortage that currently prevails.

- The strong demand from the previous record year continues, but the challenging global situation in the supply chain affects us, especially during the latter part of the first quarter.

However, the garden season is ahead of us, we have a record high order book and we are implementing powerful measures to increase production over the season, says the company's CEO Henric Andersson in a press release.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is partly due to the current shortage of raw materials and the problems in logistics chains.

Husqvarna now believes that sales during the first quarter will be around SEK 15 billion.
