FundedByMe - the second half and full year 2019**
“I am happy to see that this fall's hard work and changes have generated results. The year-end report clearly shows that the company is moving in the right direction. The first half of 2019 was affected by large non-recurring cost items. The second half of the year has been considerably more stable for the entire Group. The result has improved significantly. Costs have decreased while activity in the entire Group has increased. The focus for the future is the pursuit of profitability in a listed environment and further development of the entire business.”
Second half of 2019
- Profit after net financial items improved to MSEK –3.4 (MSEK –14.8 *)
- The improvement in earnings can in large part be attributed to lower costs, synergy effects and changed ownership of joint ventures.
- Operating profit for the second half of the year amounted to MSEK –5.4 (MSEK –13.3 *)
- Sales for the Group during the second half of the year are SEK 10.6 million, compared with SEK 13.8 * million in the corresponding period last year.

Full year 2019
- Profit after net financial items for the full year 2019 amounted to MSEK -25.4 (MSEK -19.7 *).
- The result was negatively affected during the first half of the year by investments in future growth and extraordinary costs linked to the acquisition of Laika Consulting AB and the listing process at NGM Nordic MTF. The second half of the year has seen a significant improvement in earnings as a result of reduced costs, synergies and changed ownership of foreign companies.
- Operating profit for the full year 2019 amounted to MSEK –25.3 (MSEK –17.0 *)
- Group sales for the full year amounted to SEK 20.5 million (SEK 18.9 million *)
