Preliminary Information on Vaisala's 2010 Financial Result
Vaisala expects its net sales from 2010 to be approximately EUR 253.2 million (comparable pro forma net sales in 2009, including QTT and Veriteq acquisitions EUR 252.2 million), operating profit approximately EUR 11.8 (12.0) million, and earnings per share approximately EUR 0.56.
Vaisala announced on November 5, 2010 an updated estimate on its net sales and profitability. According to the estimate Vaisala estimated that its net sales were expected to remain approximately at the previous year's level depending on how fast the delivery capability would be restored and the shipment delays caught up. The operating result was expected to decline from the previous year.
According to latest information available Vaisala estimates that its operating profit is slightly higher than estimated on November 5, 2010.
Vaisala estimates that its net sales and operating profit in 2010 will be at the same level as in 2009.
The numbers are unaudited and not based on the financial statements approved by the Board of Directors. The company will publish its financial statements on February 18, 2011.
