Gross margin
Reported gross margin was 43.4% (37.6%). Gross margin excluding restructuring charges increased to 43.4% (38.2%) driven mainly by improvements in Networks. Networks gross margin in the quarter was |
supported by strong operational leverage, while in Q2 2020 Networks gross margin was negatively impacted by both a write-down of pre-commercial product inventory and initial 5G deployments in Mainland China. Managed Services gross margin improved mainly as an effect of efficiency gains, while Digital Services margin was negatively impacted by a write-down of SEK -0.3 b. for pre-commercial product investments for the Chinese market. |

1) | Includes deferred tax liabilities of SEK -1.0 billion. |
On November 1, 2020, the Company acquired all of the shares in Cradlepoint Inc, a US-based market leader in Wireless Edge WAN 4G and 5G Enterprise solutions. The investment is key to Ericssons ongoing strategy of capturing market share in the rapidly expanding 5G Enterprise space. Cradlepoint complements Ericssons existing 5G Enterprise portfolio which includes Dedicated Networks and a global IoT platform. Goodwill in this transaction represents future customers, future technology and synergies to the sales channels and commercial model applied by Cradlepoint and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In Q2 2021 the final fair values at the acquisition date of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized, see table above. The main change between the provisional and final fair values in the balance sheet is an increase in goodwill of SEK 0.5 billion with a corresponding increase of deferred revenues. This resulted in a positive impact in the income statement of SEK 0.1 billion in Q2 2021.
