en nyt suoraan löytänyt Euroja/kruunuja mutta patentit vaikutti siis myös parantavasti
Telefonaktiebolaget Lm Ericsson (publ) (ERIC) Q3 2024 Earnings Call Transcript | The Motley Fool
IPR revenues and nonrecurring settlements with the customer also contributed to the gross margin improvement here in the quarter . Networks adjusted EBITA increased to 8.1 billion from 5.2 billion last year, and EBITA margin was 20.3% and 16% on a rolling-four-quarters basis. In segment Cloud Software and Services, organic sales were fairly flat with a year-on-year decline to minus 1%, mainly impacted by lower service sales. Adjusted gross margin was 38.7%, improving somewhat from last year.
And here, the strategy execution with focus on commercial discipline and accelerated automation is paying off. There was also a small benefit from IPR revenues and the customer settlement also here. EBITA margin was 2.9% and 3.6% rolling four quarters. In Enterprise, sales declined by 3% and sales in Global Communications Platform declined as expected, impacted by the decision to reduce some activities in some markets and focus on more profitable market segments.
And then next, turning to profitability. Here in Q3, Networks gross margin benefited from retroactive IPR licensing and the customer settlement in Q3. So, for Q4, the gross margin is expected to be in the range of 47% to 49%. And then finally, restructuring is expected to be around 4 billion for the full year.

Hi. Thanks for taking my question. I have a couple of quick ones on cost and margin. And firstly, on opex, can you please provide any color on opex developments heading into the fourth quarter of the year? And do you still expect the H2 opex to be roughly stable when you compare it to the first half of the opex? And secondly, on the gross margin side, could you please confirm and quantify the benefit for Q3 from these one-time items related to the new IPR deal as well as the commercial settlement? Thanks.
Lars Sandstrom – Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
Yeah. Let me start then with opex. We mentioned after last quarter report here that the second half of the year would be similar to the first half. And that remains.
It might be slightly higher but depending on – we had a bit of a better result. So, it depends a bit on the provisioning on bonuses here, but reasonably in line with what we said after Q2 and gross margin here in Q3. When we look at the impact from the retroactive part of the IPR and the customer settlement, it is around a percentage point, so to say, adding to the margin here in Q3
EDIT löytyihän kysymyksistä sentään jotain , eli oletettavasti sama prosenttiyksikön vaikutus myös oper marginiin ? (jos/kun muut muuttujat olisivat olleet samoja) eli noin 600mSEKin vaikutus tulokseen ?
