Stockholm, Sweden - 25 August 2014 -Transmode, a global provider of packet- optical networking solutions, today announced that it has decided to implement a cost and efficiency program to increase profitability and ensure continued investments in product and market development. The measures will affect up to 30 employees. Transmode has been affected by reduced growth and profitability for some time, mainly due to weaker sales. In order to increase profitability and ensure continued investments in product and market development, the company is now implementing a cost and efficiency program. The program is intended to reduce costs by some SEK 40 m annually and includes a combination of personnel cutbacks, other savings and measures to increase efficiency. Up to 30 employees in Sweden and abroad will potentially be affected by the program. The costs of implementing the program are estimated at SEK 10 m, which will be posted to the third and fourth quarters 2014. The personnel cutbacks are subject to negotiation with the trade unions. The negotiations are scheduled to be completed in September. "We've had to make a tough announcement to our staff today," commented Karl Thedéen, CEO of Transmode. "The competition is intense and the cost and efficiency program is necessary to meet Transmode's high profitability target. It also creates scope for continued investments in product and market development, which are necessary to reach our growth targets. We still perceive significant market potential for our products, including the new 100G products as well as Mobile Backhaul and Fronthaul, where we're very well positioned," concluded Karl Thedéen. The information in this announcement is required to be disclosed by Transmode AB under the Swedish Securities Markets Act (Sw. lagen om värdepappersmarknaden).
