Regulatory News:

Atlas Copco today hosts its annual capital markets day, taking place in Örebro, Sweden. The event will provide an update of the Group's strategy and market situation, and an in-depth view of activities in the Mining and Rock Excavation Technique business area.

“I am proud to welcome the financial community to Atlas Copco in Örebro. This is one of our main hubs for production and innovation related to mining and civil engineering, and it is an important location for the future development of our company,” said Ronnie Leten, President and CEO of the Atlas Copco Group.

Ronnie Leten confirmed Atlas Copco's most recent market outlook statement, that overall demand for the Group's products and services is expected to decline somewhat in the near term.
