NNIT also provided commentary on business segment performance and outlook.
- Suominen Corporation reported their Q3/2018 results, with net sales increasing 2% year-over-year due to price increases, while operating profit declined due to significantly higher raw material, energy, and logistics costs.
- The company is executing their Changemaker strategy and 3P profitability program to improve pricing, performance, and planning, though impacts have been slower than expected.
- For the full year 2018, Suominen expects net sales to be at the 2017 level but operating profit to be significantly lower due to higher costs and competitive market conditions.
- Net sales grew 3% in Q2 2017 compared to the previous year, reaching EUR 112 million, thanks to increased sales volumes. However, lower prices and an unfavorable product mix led to a decline in gross profit.
- The start-up of the new production line in Bethune, South Carolina was more technically challenging than expected. Once fully operational, the line will focus on high value-added products.
- Cash flow from operations remained strong at EUR 10.2 million in Q2, though profit declined due to start-up costs and a lower gross profit. The company is making investments to execute its 2017-2021 strategic plan and targets annual sales growth of 6% and a return
- Operating income for Q2 2015 was up 22% to SEK 1,675m compared to SEK 1,373m in Q2 2014, with the operating margin improving 1.3 percentage points to 13.7%.
- High margin divisions like Husqvarna and Gardena saw growth in net sales.
- Continued benefits from the Accelerated Improvement Program and currency exchange rates led to improved performance.
- Product mix was improved through a focus on higher profit products and reducing material costs.
- Further cost reductions planned for 2016-17 to fund growth investments and mitigate currency impacts going forward.
AkzoNobel Q1 2015 results media presentationAkzoNobel
The document summarizes the company's financial results for Q1 2015. Revenue increased 6% to €3.591 billion due to favorable currency effects, though volume growth was mixed by region. Operating income grew 42% to €306 million due to process optimization efforts, reduced restructuring expenses, and lower costs. All business segments saw revenue and operating income increases. The company is on track to meet its 2015 targets despite challenges in some regions.
The document provides financial highlights for NNIT's first nine months of 2017, including a 2.1% increase in revenue to DKK 2,080m and a 3.3% increase in order backlog to DKK 2,750m. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by a one-time DKK 33m revenue reversal from an arbitration settlement. Operating profit declined 16.6% to DKK 163.6m due to the revenue reversal and lower margin project work for Novo Nordisk. Segment revenue increased for life sciences and enterprise customers but declined for public sector and Novo Nordisk customers.
AkzoNobel reported improved financial results for Q1 2015 compared to Q1 2014. Revenue increased 6% to €3.59 billion driven by favorable currency effects, which offset lower volumes. Operating income grew 42% to €306 million due to process optimization efforts, reduced restructuring expenses, and lower costs. Adjusted earnings per share increased 25% to €0.76. The company is on track to achieve its 2015 targets despite ongoing challenging market conditions.
NNIT reported financial results for the first quarter of 2018. Revenue declined 2.3% to DKK 699 million due to a 20% decline in revenue from Novo Nordisk. Operating profit was DKK 61 million with an operating margin of 8.7%. Order backlog for 2018 increased 2.8% to DKK 2,487 million. Major new contract wins in the quarter included an infrastructure outsourcing contract and an SAP implementation project. The outlook for 2018 was maintained.
AkzoNobel reported strong financial results for Q2 2015, with operating income up 38% year-over-year. All business areas showed improved performance driven by cost reductions and currency effects. The company completed the divestment of its Paper Chemicals business and concluded the triennial review of its ICI Pension Fund, reducing future cash contributions. AkzoNobel is on track to meet its targets for 2015 and continues progressing its strategic initiatives.

The document provides financial results for transcosmos inc. for Q1-Q2 FY2019/3 (April-September 2018).
Key points:
- Consolidated sales increased 8.7% year-over-year driven by growth in the parent company and overseas affiliates.
- Consolidated operating income was flat year-over-year as growth in domestic and overseas affiliates offset a decline in the parent company.
- Net income increased significantly due to higher ordinary income and extraordinary gains from selling affiliate shares.
- The balance sheet strengthened with increases in cash/cash equivalents and retained earnings.

In the first six months of 2017, NNIT saw revenue growth of 6.3% to DKK 1,404 million. Operating profit increased 6.3% to DKK 133 million and net profit grew 11.7% to DKK 103.4 million. Order backlog increased 5.4% to DKK 2,659 million. Revenue growth was driven by life sciences customers outside Novo Nordisk and new customers in the enterprise segment.

The outlook for 2017 remains unchanged with organic revenue growth of 3-5% and an operating profit margin above 9%.
AkzoNobel reported improved financial performance in Q3 2015 compared to Q3 2014. Net income attributable to shareholders was up 39% and adjusted earnings per share increased 35%. Revenue increased 2% due to currency effects offsetting lower prices and volumes. All business areas were impacted by challenging market conditions but achieved improved operating income through cost reductions and currency benefits. AkzoNobel remains on track to meet 2015 targets and deliver further performance improvements.
- Sales volumes grew but the weakening USD and unfavorable product mix decreased Q3 net sales. Operating profit declined due to ramp-up costs of the new US production line and growth investments.
- The company successfully refinanced its debt to provide a solid financial position for executing its 2017-2021 growth strategy focused on sustainability and innovation.
- While cash flow from operations decreased in Q3 due to lower profits and increased working capital, the company expects the new US production line to positively impact profits starting in 2018.
- Suominen Corporation reported financial results for Q1 2016, with net sales of EUR 103.9 million, down 7.2% from Q1 2015. Operating profit was EUR 5.5 million, down 24% year-over-year.
- The proportion of higher value-added products in the sales mix grew compared to Q1 2015. Cash flow from operations doubled to EUR 9.1 million due to decreased financial expenses and positive working capital changes.
- For full-year 2016, Suominen expects net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items to improve over 2015 levels.
