In 2014, product sales were 18.4 % higher than in 2013. Impacted by the shrinking of the market in lift modernisation in France, growth of sales of service and maintenance was 2.7 %. Excluding acquisitions, overall sales growth was 2.9 %.

2014 profitability is expected to meet expectations, including an EBIT margin of approximately 11 %.

For 2015, agta record is expecting sales growth of 4 - 6 % assuming constant exchange rates. EBIT is anticipated to grow correspondingly.
If the current exchange rates between the Swiss Franc, Euro and US Dollar became the average rates of 2015 (CHF / EUR 1.00, EUR / USD 1.15), sales would be 4 % higher and EBIT would be EUR 2.0 million lower.

The Group continues to focus on various acquisition opportunities.

Next press release: 2014 full results on 20 April 2015 (after trading).
