Strong increase in result for the forth quarter for Systemair
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The ventilation company Systemair reports an increase by 169 % to 66 MSEK (25)
in operating profit (EBIT) for the forth quarter. The turnover for the quarter
increased by 1 % to 801 MSEK (792). For the financial year 2009/10 (May 1st -
April 30th) the turnover decreased by 3 % to 3 219 MSEK (3 333) and operating
profit (EBIT) decreased by 19 % to 275 MSEK (341). Operating margin for the
financial year was 8.5 % (10.2) and cash flow from operating activities was
strong and ended up by 357 MSEK (297), an increase by 20 %.
Systemairs President and CEO, Gerald Engström, commented:
"This is the first year we have not been able to grow our sales, though we have
done so every other year since our founding in 1974. Despite that, we are
satisfied with the sales and earnings. Achieving an operating margin of 8.5
percent and maintaining the gross margin in the midst of a financial crisis is a
sign of strength.
Although sales retreated somewhat, we gained market share in several markets.
Our aggressive initiatives continued, through company acquisitions and the
decision to expand our production facility in Lithuania. In addition, we
bolstered our sales organisation in several markets. We look forward to the
coming year and estimate that growth will return, bringing further improvement
in profitability."
