Robit Plc books 0.8 million euros entry to the last quarter of 2019 EBITA

Robit Plc. decided to sharpen the manufacturing operations of its Down the Hole business segment during the first half of 2019.  The company decided to unify the production of the Brighouse factory in England to the company’s other manufacturing units in Chesterfield, England and Perth, Australia.

The decision of the manufacturing transfer was made in the beginning of July 2019 and in connection with this the company recognized a write-down of approximately 1,0 million euros on the assets in use in Halco Brighouse production facility.

In February 2020 Robit has re-leased these premises and re-evaluated the basis of the write-down. According to the evaluation the company books approximately 0.8 million euros for the last quarter of 2019. This liability does not have a significant impact for the result on the annual level.
