"ReadSoft's business has continued to develop well during the second quarter of 2008. License sales increased by 17 percent, and sales in "the USA and the rest of the world" grew by over 30 percent. The Nordic market, too, had a strong quarter with growth of 23 percent, while growth in the large Central European markets was more gradual.
ReadSoft's EBITDA improved compared to 2007. However, increased depreciation meant that pre-tax earnings were lower compared to the same period last year. Cash flow from the current business was strong and substantially improved compared to last year.
Markets all over the world are unsteady, and many organizations are focusing more and more on finding solutions that reduce their costs. Therefore reasonably negative economic trends could boost sales of strongly cost-cutting products and solutions."
