Zenitel reports substantial improvements of its results

Operating Profit (EBIT) of continuing business increases from 0,4 million Euro in 2009 to 1,8 million Euro in 2010.

  • Turnover of continuing business of 66,4 million Euro, compared to 70,1 million Euro last year due to lower marine and project business.
  • Recurrent EBITDA of continuing business is 4,2 million Euro, compared to 4,6 million Euro last year.
  • 2010 net result was impacted by 1,6 million Euro non recurrent charges all related to discontinued business, resulting in a net loss of 1,5 million Euro compared to a net loss of 8,1 million Euro in 2009.

Kenneth Dastol, Zenitel Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Zenitel made a strategic move in 2009 by divesting its inefficient entities and focusing on its profitable activities – Secure Communication Systems (SCS) and the Caribbean Network. In spite of the 1,1 million Euro negative currency effect EUR/NOK on operating expenses, the company confirmed its profitability for 2010.

Zenitel had a revenue increase of 32 percent in the Caribbean due to coverage expansion to the BES islands and a 23 percent growth in the STENTOFON USA operation. However, the overall revenues were down 5,3 percent due to a decrease in the worldwide marine market and project business in Scandinavia."
