PartnerTech Interim Report January – March 2015
DGAP-News: PartnerTech AB 2015-04-23 / 08:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Growth, profit improvement and positive cash flow for the quarter In the first quarter, sales increased by 14 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2014 - in local currencies, the increase was 6 percent. Operating profit for the Electronics and Systems Integration divisions improved compared with the corresponding period in 2014 and amounted to SEK 21 million. Consolidated operating profit for the quarter totalled SEK 2 million. The restructuring program in the Metal Precision division continued into the first quarter with the aim of reducing the cost base in order to achieve profitability at lower volumes. The prevailing caution in Oil and Gas affected activities in Metal Precision. This meant that we did not reach the quarterly volume that we had targeted with our reductions. We are, however, experiencing continued increased activity in the Metal Precision Technology division where our share of on-going and planned infrastructure projects in the Oil and Gas segment is steadily increasing. Activity in the defense segment did also increase somewhat at the end of the quarter and is not expected to decline further in the near future. The growing demand in CleanTech that we saw towards the end of last year affected Electronics and Systems Integration positively in the quarter and we are continuing to witness good growth in the CleanTech area. During the quarter, we also signed framework agreements that significantly expands our cooperation with existing customers in both the MedTech and Industry market areas.
