“We had a record-breaking close to the year thanks to RayStation®. Sales rose 68.0 percent in the fourth quarter and amounted to SEK 77 M. Operating profit improved to SEK 26 M corresponding to an operating margin of 34 percent,” says Johan Löf, President of RaySearch.
“We are now past the crucial initial phase of establishing RayStation® in many markets and have already secured customers in 13 countries. While considerable work remains ahead for expanding our sales and service organization, interest in our system is rising continuously and we are involved in an increasing number of ongoing business discussions throughout the world. It is difficult to predict how rapidly the interest will translate into orders and deliveries, but we are looking forward to 2013 with great confidence,” concludes Johan Löf.
