Company Announcement No 14 - 2016
Interim report for Q2 2015/16 (the period from 1 November 2015 to 30 April 2016)
Positive performance in the second quarter. The expectations for 2015/16 are maintained.
Summary
- Order intake in the first half of the year was DKK 150.9 million (DKK 123.5 million). The growth is mainly attributable to the Industrial Fiber segment.
- The order book at the end of April 2016 was DKK 71.4 million (DKK 56.8 million).
- Revenue amounted to DKK 108.6 million (DKK 112.7 million).
- Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 8.7 million (DKK 19.4 million).
- Profit before tax amounted to DKK 9.9 million (DKK 20.9 million).
- The gross margin was 55.7% (61.2%). The downturn is due to the revenue mix and falling profit margins in Industrial Fiber due to rising raw material prices.
- After Q2, the management is maintaining its expectations for 2015/16, which were announced in the annual report for 2014/15. Revenue in the region of DKK 250 million
and profit before tax of DKK 25 million is therefore expected in the financial year 2015/16.
