“Cinnober is currently in a phase of expansion. We are growing and have taken on large projects, which have impacted profitability negatively”, says Veronica Augustsson, CEO, in a comment. “At the same time, we are focusing on broadening the product portfolio and expanding our market through investments in real-time clearing, client clearing and the reporting service for OTC transactions. The fact that our operations now rest on four pillars, all with considerable potential, means that we continue to see a bright future.”
