CellaVision AB (publ) announces preliminary figures due to the company's significantly increased sales in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year. The company announces preliminary net sales exceeding SEK 93 million (58.3) with a revenue growth of at least 60 percent and an operating profit in excess of SEK 34 million (13.9).
CellaVision has an uneven order flow and revenue over the year, and the variation in order volumes in individual quarters may be significant. The variations between different geographical regions may also be substantial.
During the first quarter of 2017, CellaVision had exceptional sales in the Americas and APAC and a more stable development in EMEA compared to the same period last year. The strong regional sales development is the main reason for the increase in sales for the first quarter of 2017.
