Service strategy revised and investments in digital services continued as planned
Nordic Morning Group’s net revenue was EUR 106.6 million (EUR 121.3 million). The decline in net revenue was mainly due to the decrease of third-party invoicing in the Klikki Group and the depreciation of the Swedish krona.
The Group’s operative result was EUR 3.4 million (EUR 4.0 million). In line with the strategy, operations were rationalized and assets were converted into money, leading to a substantial amount of non-recurring items in the income statement at EUR 2.4 million (0.0). Operating profit before non-recurring items was EUR 1.0 million (4.0). The operating profit was weaker than planned due to the consolidation of Swedish printing operations stretching from spring to fall.
The Group’s equity-to-assets ratio increased to 51.4 percent (42.2), and cash and cash equivalents remained at a good level due to strong operating cash flow.
Nordic Morning revised its service strategy and reorganized its operations accordingly into three business areas starting from January 1, 2015: Visibility & Service Design, Content, and Campaigns & Dialogue.
The Group strengthened its position as a diverse provider of communication services in the Nordic region by acquiring loyalty marketing specialist Seed Digital Media Ltd and focusing on digital communication services in all Group companies.
