ZINZINO AB (PUBL): INTERIM REPORT Q2 2019

ZINZINO UPGRADES THE SALESFORCAST

Strong growth in Central Europe combined with good development in most other markets contributed to total revenues increasing by 23% to SEK 179.5 (145.5) million in the second quarter.

During the quarter, a successful launch in Australia was completed and the rapidly rising number of customers and distributors in the market is now establishing a local office in Adelaide. In addition, Zinzino has launched the new product Essent, the next-generation capsule-based dietary supplement in Omega-3, a new and very important product for the North American market.

Accumulated January to June, total revenues increased by 22% to SEK 347.8 (284.8) million. The good sales growth so far this year, combined with expectations for the second half of the year, means that Zinzino's Board of Directors and management are now updating the revenue forecast for 2019, with total revenues expected to exceed SEK 700 (577) million.
