SinterCast AB (publ) announced production results for the first quarter of 2018. For the quarter, the annualised series production reached 2.5 million Engine Equivalents in the first quarter of 2018, surpassing the previous quarterly record of 2.2 million Engine Equivalents. The first quarter production represents an increase of 19% compared to the full-year 2017 volume, and 25% compared to the first quarter of 2017, providing a strong start to the year.

Series production continued to improve in March, setting an all-time single-month high of 2.7 million Engine Equivalents.

The full-year outlook remains positive, with the anticipated start of production of a new high volume in-line diesel engine for passenger
vehicles in the third-quarter, providing further growth potential. The strong start, plus the anticipated start of production of the high volume passenger vehicle in-line diesel engine during the third quarter, puts squarely on track for targeted return to double-digit growth in series production in 2018.
