OREANDA-NEWS. Sant'Antonino, Switzerland, 18 June 2015. The Interroll Group managed to build on its strong fourth quarter of 2014 and has gotten off to a good start on all continents and in all product groups in financial year 2015. Expressed in the reporting currency Swiss franc, the company expects solid sales growth of at least 2 percent and particularly strong growth in net profit of at least 50 percent for the first half of 2015.

Interroll expects sales growth of at least 10 percent in local currency. Slightly positive currency developments in the dollar and in emerging markets were offset in the consolidated financial statements by extremely negative currency translation effects from Europe.

Despite negative currency translation effects on the consolidated financial statements in the reporting currency Swiss franc, but bolstered by the significantly higher sales in local currency and the fact that one-off development costs incurred in 2014 are no longer a factor this year, the Interroll Group expects to be able to increase its net profit in its half year results 2015 by at least 50 percent compared to the prior year period.

The companywill publish its complete Half Year Results 2015 Report on 7 August 2015.
