Comments from the CEO
Net sales during the second quarter increased by 46 per cent, totalling SEK 64.5 million (44.2). This strong growth was driven primarily by deliveries to the Swedish Transport Administration as well as deliveries to customers in the Middle East. We delivered an operating profit of SEK 17.5 million, compared with SEK 6.7 million in the same quarter in 2014.
On 23 June, Sensys presented its plans for the acquisition of Gatso Beheer B.V, a leading Dutch supplier of system and service solutions for traffic enforcement. Gatso, with a head office in the Netherlands, generated net sales of SEK 276 million (October 2013-September 2014) and had 160 employees in five countries.
The new, merged company, Sensys Gatso Group, will be significantly stronger than the individual companies and will assume a significant, leading position in the traffic safety market, with a unique offering in the managed services market. The merged company will have a strong presence in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, with a foothold in the market for managed services in North America.
The acquisition was conducted in order to provide Sensys shareholders with a company that will more quickly:
• generate regular, more stable revenues
• expand internationally
• create a starting position as a supplier of services and software
The acquisition of Gatso Beheer was completed on 31 July, after the end of the quarter. I would like to welcome the new employees to Sensys Gatso Group and look forward to an exciting, shared future for the companies.
