Husqvarna AB (publ) provided production and sales guidance for the first quarter of 2022. Demand for Husqvarna Group's products is strong across all core markets and product categories. However, with escalating global supply chain challenges resulting in shortages of certain components and longer lead times, the group expects reduced production for the first quarter.

This development is affecting robotic mowers and lawn tractors in particular and creates a record order backlog. Net sales for the first quarter 2022 is estimated to approximately SEK 15 billion (SEK 14.0 billion reported in first quarter of 2021) including Orbit Irrigation.
