PartnerTech Year-end Report 2013
DGAP-News: PartnerTech AB / 12.02.2014 / 08:20 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Growth in the fourth quarter, improved profitability and strong cash flow for the full year Fourth quarter sales increased from the year-ago period by 6% in local currency to SEK 582 million, a distinct improvement. Similarly, operating earnings rose substantially to SEK 10 million. The year started off slowly but we have seen a recovery in the latter part of the year. Many of our existing customers experienced a rough year, but we made up for it with solid sales to new customers. We also began seeing results of the adjustments we carried out at several parts of the group during the year. We made major headway in adapting our Norwegian business, where the Oil&Gas subsegment exhibited growth, although from a low level. We streamlined the electronics production at our smaller units and successfully adjusted for lower volumes of technically advanced products. Machining enjoyed increased orders received from a number of new non-defense customers. The overall impact of these changes was a stable structure for further development of our attractive global offering by increasing the share of our service volumes in product development and after-sales. The ultimate goal is to serve as an industrial partner able to increasingly offer our customers complete solutions throughout the product life-cycle.
