Swedish term or phrase: Kompensera sig
The context is this, from a report on company economy:

Ett dilemma är att företaget inte har haft möjligheter att kompensera sig gentemot sina kunder. Men går allt som det skall kan detta komma att ske under Q3.

Any opinions on what 'kompensera sig' means in this context?

Thanks!

Compensate


Explanation:
Here they say they have had increased costs but have not been able to balance these increased expenditures by raising prices for customers ie. they will have to increase the prices to the customers to compensate for or balance their own increased costs. Well that is the meaning anyway.
