OrganoClick AB (publ) publishes its interim report for Q1 2017
"After the first four months of the year I can conclude that we are on the right path. Q1, which historically has been one of our weakest periods, and has contributed with 18 % of the yearly revenue, has started well. Sales has increased from SEK 6.5 million to SEK 18.0 million which excluding our previous acquisition gave an organic sales growth of 52 %. The fixed operational costs for the group (excluding the acquired business) increased with only 2 % compared with Q1 2016. The gross margin increased to 37 % compared with 32 % the same period 2016 and March became the first month ever for the group with a positive EBITDA. The trend has continued in April with strong sales and increased gross margin. The goal of a positive EBITDA for the full year therefore feels realistic."
