“Cinnober has experienced a slow start to the year from a revenue and profitability perspective, primarily within the Simplitium business area, but also attributable to our core business within exchange and clearing technology”, says Veronica Augustsson, CEO, in a comment. “During the last year, our growth initiatives have consumed considerable time and resources, and current focus is now to return to profitability, improve cost control and clarify responsibilities within the Group. In the second quarter, a cost savings program has been initiated with the aim to achieve a significantly lower cost base.”
