“The strengthening of our operating profit and balance sheet is satisfying, and confirms that we do the right things to ensure an efficient operation and a stable financial position. When it comes to sales, we experienced a disappointing development in certain regions in the very important final months of the year, which had a negative impact on our fourth quarter sales”, comments Robert Puskaric, CEO and President of Doro.
