Group`s unaudited consolidated result of 6-month period of financial year 2017/2018 was 7.5 million euros, which is 8% less compared to income volume of the same period last year. The fluctuation of the turnover is a result of increasing share of projects in it.

Market overview

The microwave radio market has not experienced any rapid changes over the past quarter, and we believe no such changes are expected in the near future.

There is still an increase in demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data transmission rate and can be enhanced and updated in order to improve data usage.

Guidance

SAF Tehnika is the company with the long-term competence in development and production of microwave radios.

The Group continues to explore market requirements and problematic issues in order to be able to provide necessary product modifications. The Group is financially stable.

The goal of the Company is to stabilize sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika maintains cautious optimism, but cannot provide a sales and performance forecast.

On 31 December 2017, the Group numbered 193 employees (there were 184 employees on 31 December, 2016).
