Summary of the first three quarters of 2015/16

The gross margin was 55.4% (56.2%). The downturn is due to the revenue mix and rising raw material prices in the Industrial Fiber segment.
The company is in the process of preparing a new strategy, which will be announced in a special company announcement before the end of October 2016.
After the first three quarters of the financial year the management is maintaining its expectations for 2015/16, which were announced in the annual report for 2014/15.

Revenue in the region of DKK 250 million and profit before tax of around DKK 25 million are therefore still expected in the financial year 2015/16.
