ADVANCE INFORMATION ON THE Q1 2013 NET SALES AND OPERATING RESULT
Stonesoft Corporation's product sales in the first quarter of the year 2013 were approximately EUR 5.4 million and grew by approximately 9% compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The net sales of the quarter were approximately EUR 9.2 million, corresponding to 12% growth. Operating result was approximately EUR 2.2 million negative.
The advance information is unaudited and it is not based on an interim report approved by the Board of Directors.
The company has previously announced:
"The company's budgeted net sales for 2013 are MEUR 60 and the net sales target set in the strategy for the year 2014 is approximately MEUR 90. To support this, the company will enter several new markets during 2013 and actively develop partner business.
While the company is aiming for strong growth, the operating profit (EBIT) for the first quarter of the year is expected to be negative and the operating profit for the full year to improve compared to the previous year."
The company maintains its guidance for the full year.
"Our strong investments in growth together with the negative variation between quarters resulted in a worse operating result than expected, but the full year still looks strong. The company still aims at 50% growth and MEUR 60 net sales for the year 2013", stated CEO Ilkka Hiidenheimo.
Stonesoft Corporation's interim report for 1 January - 31 March 2013 will be published as previously announced on Friday 26 April, 2013. A press conference for the media, analysts and investors will be held on 26 April at 10:30 am at the Stonesoft headquarters, street address Itälahdenkatu 22 A, 00210 Helsinki.
