CEO’s comments
“Orders grew organically by 5.5% in Q4, while sequential developments were
strong between Q3 and Q4. Profit margins continued to improve however despite
the lower sales figures compared with the same period last year. EFT, which was
recently acquired, reported healthy growth over the quarter, especially in terms
of profitability levels, where a favourable mix positively affected the
quarter’s earnings.
To further strengthen our competitive edge and optimise our supply chain we
announced in January 2013 that we have now entered negotiations to discontinue
manufacturing at the Group’s plant in Denmark and intend moving manufacturing to
the Group’s plants in Poland and Germany.”
