Holland Colours N.V. announced sales results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. For the quarter, the company realized 3% lower sales than in the same period last year. This decline is entirely due to unfavorable currency effects, primarily on the US dollar. The market conditions in China, the Building & Construction market in Western Europe and the packaging market in Americas continued to be tough.

The company provided earnings guidance for the full year of fiscal 2014. Unforeseen events aside, the company expects this financial year to realize sales and net result comparable to fiscal 2013.
