WULFF GROUP PLC
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE June 17, 2013 at 12.00 P.M.
WULFF ADJUSTS ITS ESTIMATE 2013
The markets have not improved as expected and the demand for Wulff’s products has decreased from last year. Based on the Group management’s recent outlook for 2013, it seems probable that the last year’s operating profit level will not be reached. The cost-efficiency improvement actions have been taken as planned and the Group concentrates on the internal actions with the strongest effect on profitability. Typically in the industry, the annual profit is made in the last quarter of the year. In 2012, the Group’s net sales totalled EUR 90 million and operating profit reached EUR 1.1 million.
In its first interim report 2013, Wulff Group Plc estimated that no significant market changes are expected in 2013 and the Group aims to improve profitability through its own actions.
Wulff publishes its interim report for January-June 2013 on Tuesday August 6, 2013.
In Vantaa on June 17, 2013.
