Preliminary sales and profit for Motion Display better than expected. Continued strong order intake in the fourth quarter and shortened lead times have allowed a record turnover.

In the interim report for the first nine months, net sales amounted to MSEK 15.4 (MSEK 9.42) with a record order backlog at the end of the quarter of MSEK 9.7. In addition, an important pilot order worth MSEK 1.7 was obtained after the quarter-end.

Production has proceeded according to plan and the entire order backlog has been delivered in 2016. Thanks to improved lead time and continued strong order intake in the fourth quarter, additional projects have been delivered before year-end. Preliminary figures show a turnover for the full year of approximately MSEK 31 (MSEK 11.4) and earnings before tax of approximately KSEK 166 (MSEK -9.89).
