COMMENT BY CEO DAG BERGHEIM PETTERSEN: “2014 was yet another strong year and we delivered on our promise to the market of growth and improved profitability. We achieved growth of around 40% not only in the last quarter but also in the remainder of 2014 - strong figures, which are better than we had expected at the beginning of the year. Profitability also improved, with an operating margin that now exceeds 5% of our total revenue of more than SEK 350m. We consider the main factors for the improvement in profitability compared with the previous year to be our focus on growth and increased customer quotas, that is, number of customers per salesperson. I am both delighted and proud of our financial development, but even more important are perhaps the decisions on, and implementation of, the investments which will make us better equipped and more efficient in the coming years. In the final quarter of 2014 we acquired our own production capacity through the investment in Faun Pharma. In addition, we acquired 100% of Bioactive Foods AS, a company we already had a stake in. These investments will give us an excellent platform for product development and will enable us to reduce our materials costs. This, in turn, will give us a competitive advantage and improved margins, safeguarding Zinzino's operations and future. The change in trading platform to Nasdaq OMX First North is yet another important step we have taken this year and a natural step in our strategic plan concerning international expansion of the company. Currently, we are active in 12 markets. Our goal is to be established in 20 markets by 2020. In 2015, our aim is to establish operations in Germany and Canada, both countries with a large population and large potential markets for Zinzino. The expansion into both markets will be implemented in a cost-efficient manner with the help of the existing organisations in Sweden and the USA. Customer growth and improved efficiency are deeply ingrained in our culture and strategy. On the strength of all the investments carried out in 2014, in 2015 we will continue to actively work towards continued growth in all markets, integration and improved efficiency of Bioactive Foods and Faun Pharma, entering new markets, strengthening our organisation, improved IT structure, improved margins on goods sold and improved profitability. Our primary focus in 2015 is growth and many new customers. We want to achieve growth of at least 25% and an improved result every year for the next three years.” Dag Bergheim Pettersen, CEO, Zinzino AB For a full report, please see the attached PDF.
