GomSpace (Provider of Nanosatellites) Announces its Quarterly Results for the First Quarter 2017

STOCKHOLM, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GomSpace Group AB announces its interim report for the first quarter of 2017. The report is available on the company's homepage (www.gomspace.com). The following is taken from the quarterly report:

First quarter summary

1 January - 31 March 2017 (2016)

    --  Net revenues increased to T.SEK 18,997 (11,003)

    --  Gross margin decreased to 46% (64%)

    --  Operating profit (loss) decreased to a negative T.SEK 10,257 (a positive
        929)

    --  Earnings per share were a negative SEK 0.42 (a positive 0.69)

    --  GomSpace selected for the delivery of a constellation of satellites to
        Sky and Space Global (UK) Ltd

Subsequent events 

    --  GomSpace makes a private placement at SEK 95 million through issuance of
        1.75 million new shares.

"The result for the period was a loss of T.SEK 10,272, in line with our expectation, and the growth in revenue was 73% which is also in line with our target. Gross margin was 46% which is slightly under our target. Without the partial elimination of revenue from Aerial & Mari­time Ltd. the growth in revenue would be 89% and gross mar­gin 49%. We are now in a phase where we, at a substantial level, invest in assets as well as in operations. The financials are very much influenced by this. The basic conditions are however solid, because our order­book is very strong and it has in fact never been stronger in our history. At the same time, the future demand also looks promising," CEO Niels Buus commented.
