The Finnish company Scanfil with production facilities in among other places China has upgraded its expected turnover for 2013 following its newly released half year result which showed a EUR 0.9 million higher turnover this year than in 2012.
The turnover totalled EUR 92.8 million for the first six months. The operating profit went, however, down to EUR 3.1 million compared to EUR 3.2 million after the first six months in 2013 and the bottom line dropped from EUR 2.6 million in the 1st half last year to EUR 2.1 million in the 1st half of this year.
Scanfil’s new estimated outlook for 2013 is a turnover and operating profit for 2013 that will be slightly higher compared to the year 2012.
The reason for the upgrade is among others according to Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc, that the operating profit would have increased by about 30% if non-recurring items of 2012 and 2013 were excluded.
