CEO COMMENTS
Several good pieces of news during the first quarter
“The good earnings trend is continuing in BTS Europe. Meanwhile, we are increasing our presence through an office in Rome in order to meet demand from a number of Italian companies. BTS Other markets is showing good growth and increased earnings, and the previous challenges in Australia have been handled successfully and the operations there are now performing positively. In North America, which has shown significant negative growth during the past six quarters, we are levelling out. We are making significant investments in BTS Digital and are releasing several new innovations, which means that BTS digital solutions will be even more effective and can be delivered to all leading digital platforms. We expect that earnings in 2014 will be substantially better than during 2013.”
