Exceptionally high volumes for Nolato Telecom


Nolato Telecom will report exceptionally high volumes for the fourth quarter.
The business area’s sales are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 600
million for the quarter, with operating profit of around SEK 100 million. The
positive performance is due to the success of a number of customers’ handsets on
the consumer market, as well as continued positive development of Nolato’s
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) business.

“Nolato Telecom is set to report unusually high sales and very strong operating
profit for the fourth quarter. When a number of models that we supply for
customers become successful at the same time, it has a positive effect on our
financial performance. However, our assessment is that these high volumes are
temporary and that volumes for the first quarter of 2015 will return to a more
normal level,” said Nolato’s President and CEO, Hans Porat.

Nolato Telecom’s operating margin is estimated to be just over 15 percent for
the fourth quarter.

“Significant flexibility and efficiency, combined with long product runs and low
scrap levels, mean that the operating margin for the quarter will also be
exceptional. Continued positive performance in EMC is also contributing to the
strong margin,” said Hans Porat.

The Group’s full earnings will be reported in the year-end report to be
published on 5 February.
