Holland Colours reported earnings results for third quarter of 2016. For the period, the company realised a 9% revenue increase against the same period last year. Favorable currency effects, mainly from appreciation of the US dollar, explain about 7% of the revenue increase. The gross margin percentage for HCA over the third quarter of 2015/2016 showed a modest increase over prior year's third quarter.

Unforeseen events aside, the company expects revenue as well as the net result for the full financial year to end above prior year.
