As our silent period is about to start, we would like to highlight some of the most notable events of the third quarter of 2024. Kalmar’s interim report January-September 2024 will be published on Friday, 1 November 2024, and the silent period starts on Friday, 11 October 2024.
The demerger of Cargotec was completed on 30 June 2024 followed by the listing of Kalmar on Nasdaq Helsinki on 1 July 2024. The day consisted of many celebrations including the bell ringing ceremony, Kalmar cakes at our brand new headquarter office, and greetings from our colleagues around the world who were all having their own celebrations.
Kalmar has had an incredibly active third quarter, marked by extensive investor engagement. We've had the privilege of connecting with a diverse range of investors, sharing Kalmar’s story and building on the relationships.
During the quarter, we have had the chance to meet with over 70 investors in total! In August, we organised a European roadshow, visiting London and Oslo. In September, our team travelled to the US and met with investors in New York and Chicago. In addition, we have participated in several seminars and conferences in Helsinki, Paris, and Stockholm. We also hosted a site visit for investors in our Tampere innovation centre, where we had the chance to test drive our fully electric straddle carrier.
All the roadshows and events have provided us with an excellent opportunity to share the newly listed Kalmar’s strategy and market trends while connecting with investors and listening to their views. Our growth strategy, electrification, services and leadership as well as demand and profitability drivers have been high on the agenda in the meetings. Throughout our Q3 engagements, we were consistently impressed by the level of interest and enthusiasm shown by investors. It is clear that the market is taking a keen interest in Kalmar, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We will have an active Q4 in regards to investor engagement, please see later in this newsletter for an overview of our upcoming activities.
