在进入2022年之际，我们希望在一场长期大流行之后恢复正常. 然而, these hopes were not realised as on February 24th we witnessed the beginning of the tragic war in Ukraine. 这场战争不仅极大地改变了地缘政治安全形势, 也是整个欧洲国防工业的状况.

对于许多, 改变了的景观也提醒人们，和平, stability and security are the foundation for freedom and human rights - and unfortunately not to be taken for granted. It is therefore with pride that I reflect on Saab and the key purpose that guides me and my 19,000名同事:维护人民和社会安全.

The implications of the events experienced during the year are substantial on our industry.

许多欧洲国家, 包括瑞典, 宣布增加国防开支, 从而在未来几年更加关注国防. 瑞典和芬兰也决定加入北约. 所有 of this is affecting Saab as a defence company and provider of state-of-the-art defence capabilities. 我们随时准备支持客户不断增长的需求, 我们未来增长的机会已经大大改善.

In 2022, Saab saw a strong interest for its product portfolio by both new and existing customers. 我们的一些产品和解决方案已用于乌克兰的防御, 由十大正规博彩网站排名现有客户提供. We ended the year by growing our order backlog by 21 per cent and showed growth in all business areas. This was a result of successful execution on our multi-domestic growth strategy and our focus on core areas, 确保我们的地位与我们的国际客户一起进一步发展.

2022年收到的一个主要订单是我们的监视业务, 瑞典购买了两架“环球眼”飞机. 我们还与美国石油公司签订了大合同.K. 瑞典提供NLAW反坦克武器系统, 在几个卡尔-古斯塔夫®订单之上.

在年底, Saab signed an important contract for the design and production of two Signal Intelligence ships for 波兰. I am also happy that Saab received the first low rate production order for trainer jet aft fuselages from Boeing - an important step for the Aerospace business at our new U.S. 位于印第安纳州西拉斐特的设施.

落实增长承诺

我们所有业务的运营表现都很强劲, 虽然通货膨胀, 某些材料的供应和运输是一个挑战. 然而, we have been working hard to mitigate these together with our partners and customers. We set out the year with the target of reaching an organic sales growth of around 5 per cent, an operating income improvement between 8-12 per cent compared to 2021 and a positive operational cash flow for the full year. As we have closed the books for 2022 I can conclude that we have confidently reached all those targets.

为进一步增长而投资

为了帮助我们的客户保护他们的人民和社会的安全, 投资于应对现代威胁的新技术至关重要. As we continue to strengthen our offering within core areas and investing in new innovative solutions, we have taken initiatives to increase future capacity and competences to meet the increased demand. A milestone during the year was the decision to set up a manufacturing facility for the Carl-Gustaf® M4 shoulder-launched weapon system in 印度. Investments to increase future capacity in our Ground Combat business in Sweden and in our U.S. 行动亦继续进行.

提高我们的能力

能够满足客户需求的唯一最重要的因素, 无论是现在还是将来, 是十大正规博彩网站排名的员工. We continuously need to attract new talent and invest in our colleagues to maintain our edge and find the innovations of tomorrow. In 2022, Saab’s recruitment efforts increased and I am glad that we have a net increase of more than 1,今年在全球拥有1000名员工.

加强我们的可持续发展议程

年内, we continued our extensive work on sustainability and strengthened our responsible sales policy further. 此外, we initiated the Climate Task Forces within our science-based targets project for setting emission reduction targets, 后来得到了科学减碳倡议的批准. This is an important milestone on our journey towards net zero emissions by 2050 and now the real work begins.

We strive to be sustainable in all parts of our business and support the UN Global Compact and its ten principles. By developing and providing solutions that enable customers to achieve their own sustainability ambitions, we can contribute to sustainable development while gaining a competitive advantage.

结论, 2022 has been a year which has demanded a lot from Saab and our customers when it comes to adapting to a new reality. We are ready to support our customers increased needs and capture future opportunities. I would like to thank all Saab employees that go to work every day to help keep people and societies safe – the importance of what we do is more evident than ever.
