Ambu continues the positive developments with growth in revenue and net profit
and increases outlook for the EBIT margin
Two years ago, Ambu launched a four-year strategy, GPS Four, and is now halfway
through the strategy period. The first two years have been an unmitigated
success, and the foundation for Ambu's entire business is now in place.
Satisfactory growth in revenue in excess of market growth was achieved in
2010/11 as well as significantly improved earnings before special items
compared with the previous year. Revenue came to DKK 983m, up 5%, and EBIT
before special items rose by 22% to DKK 144m. The increase stems, among other
things, from further optimisation benefits as a result of considerable
structural changes in the organisation as a whole, strong growth in emerging
markets and the USA as well as an expansion of the product portfolio. An
ambitious plan has been made for the coming year under the heading ‘Tuned for
Growth'.
