CEO’s comments:
“The third quarter was by far our best quarter ever. Net sales of MSEK 37.1 correspond to year-on-year growth of 54 percent,” says Peter Nählstedt, CEO of Probi. “Our growth up to the third quarter was 25 percent and we are growing with increased profitability. The operating margin for the reporting period is slightly higher than in 2013. As in recent quarters, growth is attributable to the Consumer Healthcare business area where net sales have risen 53 percent to date this year, compared with the corresponding period in 2013. This growth was primarily driven by successful launches conducted jointly with our partners in the North American and South Korean markets. Due to strong global demand for our products, we are now reviewing the organization to ensure we have the resources needed to seize the market opportunities in both of our business areas in coming years.”
