2018 12m results and the achieved y-o-y growth level reflect the firm commitment of the Company to execute its growth strategy. Lower 2018 Q4 EBITDA and profit in comparison with 2017 Q4 and 2018 Q3 does not show any trend or market weakness, it can rather be attributed to increased share of lower margin products in 2018 Q4. Profitability was also partially impacted by, previously reported in the Company 2018 Q2 financial report, fire accident that broke out in 2018 Q3 in one of HansaMatrix client’s wharehouses and was expected to have negative impact on HansaMatrix data networks segment sales in 2018 Q3 and Q4 due to supply chain delivery times of additional new components. This fire accident is not expected to impact the segment sales volume in the longer term.
