CEO’S Review
“Sales increased during the second quarter to EUR 5.3 million and were EUR 1.2 million higher than in the first quarter. Growth was 22 percent in comparison to the previous year's second quarter, or almost EUR 1.0 million. Demand improved, driven especially by automotive industry customers, but demand for printed circuit boards that support telecommunications customers' product development also picked up after a weak start to the year. The focus of growth during the second quarter was on Central Europe and especially Germany, which is Europe's largest printed circuit board market.
The company's order book continued to grow throughout the second quarter and was EUR 2.4 million at the end of the reporting period. The increase in the order book was mainly due to new projects in the automotive industry.
Second-quarter operating profit increased to EUR 0.2 million, representing slightly more than 3 percent of net sales. Comparable operating profit saw a year-on-year improvement of EUR 0.5 million. Operating result for the first half of the year was still EUR 0.3 million in the red. The strong order book is expected to support favorable result performance during the latter half of the year.”
