CEO’S COMMENTS:
“The first quarter of 2013 was one of our best quarters to date in terms of
revenue and the net margin of 25% is above our target. Compared with the first
quarter of 2012, net sales were lower due to the non-payment of minimum
royalties from NextFoods as per our new agreement and the reduction of the
royalty rate for ProViva in Sweden. The trend in the key North American market,
both in terms of existing and potential partners, is very promising. We also
note increasing interest in our offering in several markets in Asia and Eastern
Europe and we are focusing on finding new distribution solutions there. In
parallel with this, we are preparing new EFSA studies into gastrointestinal
health and the immune system and plan to start these during the second half of
2013,” says Michael Oredsson, CEO of Probi.
