STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE December 14, 2012 at 3.15 P.M.
WULFF ADJUSTS ITS ESTIMATE FOR THE LAST QUARTER
Annual Net Sales and Operating Profit Estimated Below Last Year’s Level
Based on the Group management’s recent outlook for 2012, Wulff’s annual net sales and operating profit will decrease from last year’s level. In 2011, the Group’s net sales totalled EUR 99 million and operating profit reached EUR 1.6 million.
Typically in Wulff’s industry, the annual profit is made in the last quarter of the year. Wulff estimates the last quarter to be profitable even though the Christmas sales of business gifts have been markedly lower than expected due to the general economic situation.
In its interim report for January-September 2012 (published on November 8, 2012), Wulff informed that the Group has good opportunities to increase operating profit excluding non-recurring items (2011: EUR 1.6 million) even though the net sales will decrease from last year’s level (2011: EUR 99 million).
In Vantaa on December 14, 2012.
