According to an estimate to be presented by President Paakkanen to Marimekko Corporation's Annual General Meeting commencing today at 14:00, the company's exports will continue to grow well during the current year. She comments on the company's estimate of the outlook for 2007, presented when the financial statements for 2006 were released, as follows: "Trends in Marimekko's exports continued to be favourable during the first quarter of the year. Strong growth continued as anticipated. Trends in domestic sales were slightly weaker than expected. Consequently, sales growth during the first quarter was somewhat less than predicted by the company." However, according to Paakkanen, there is no need to make any adjustments to the company's earlier estimate of growth in full-year net sales.
