Fingerprint Cards (FPC) raises the revenue guidance for Q2 2015 from previously communicated that it will amount to at least 340 MSEK to that it will amount to around 390 MSEK. Due to the rapid increase in market growth and orders received the revenue guidance for 2015 is raised from the previously communicated guidance that revenue for 2015 will exceed 1,500 MSEK to an updated guidance that revenue for 2015 will amount to approximately 2,200 MSEK.

Due to receipt of orders of touch fingerprint sensors with request for immediate delivery the revenue guidance for the second quarter 2015 is raised from previously communicated that it will amount to at least 340 MSEK to that it will amount to around 390 MSEK.

FPC has seen a strong sequential increase of order inflow and a continued increased interest from smartphone manufacturers in integrating the company's touch fingerprint sensors during the last months. Consequently the revenues for the second half 2015 are expected to be significantly higher than previously estimated and amount to approximately 1,700 MSEK.

Based on that background the revenue guidance for 2015 is raised from previously communicated that it will exceed 1,500 MSEK to that it will amount to approximately 2,200 MSEK. The reason for this is the growing interest from the market in integrating touch fingerprint sensors and the company's strong product portfolio.

Jörgen Lantto, CEO of FPC, comments: "It is becoming clear that 2015 is the year when touch fingerprint sensors are becoming broadly integrated in smartphones. Google's upcoming release of a complete platform support for fingerprint sensors in the Android M release is expected to play a major role in the strongly increased demand we are now experiencing. Our broad product portfolio and leading technology has in our view been a strong contributor for our touch fingerprint sensors being included in a large part of the smartphones with integrated touch fingerprint sensors that are being launched during the remainder of 2015. The fact that seven smartphone manufacturers have already launched smartphones with our touch fingerprint sensors means that we have established a clear position as the leading supplier of touch fingerprint sensors for this market. The sharp rise in demand for the company's entire product portfolio will put a lot of pressure on the whole organization, but it is a challenge we are ready for".
