Interroll posts solid order intake and slight sales growth in 2013

Sant'Antonino, Switzerland, 24 January 2014. Interroll Group shows sales of CHF 316.3 million for financial year 2013. This represents a rise of 3.0% compared to the previous year (in local currencies: +3.1%).

Incoming orders totalled CHF 318.8 million as at 31 December 2013, representing an increase of 5.4% compared to the previous year (in local currencies: +5.6%). The Book-to-Bill ratio is 1.01. The challenging market environment prevailed in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa) with incoming orders down 2.4% on the previous year's level. At the same time, the figures recorded for the regions Asia-Pacific and Americas including Brazil climbed by 18.2% and a significant 24.8% respectively.

Interroll is confident that these figures back its intention of investing USD 40 million in total in the Americas region by 2015. The acquisition of the US-based Portec Group in July 2013 was covered by these funds. In the reporting year, the Portec Group adjusted for smaller divestments in Europe contributed 1.8% to total sales growth and 2.2% to the higher level of incoming orders at Interroll Group.

The company expects a significant rise in operating profit (EBIT) of around 10% (unaudited) for the full financial year 2013 compared with the previous year. This is essentially supported by product mix of innovative products, more efficient purchasing processes and increased productivity.
