| Key Figures, continuing operations T EUR | 1-3 2020 3 months |
1-3 2019 3 months |
1 – 12 2019 12 months |
| Turnover | 3 912 | 3 771 | 16 849 |
| Operating profit/loss | 43 | -189 | 881 |
| Operation profit/loss % | 1,1 % | -5,0 % | 5,2 % |
| Order backlog at the end of the period | 6 326 | 6 647 | 6 214 |
| Orders received | 4 038 | 3 903 | 16 273 |
The comparative figures differ from those previously published so that they no longer include the figures of AP-Tela Oy, which was sold in 2019.
The Group’s turnover increased by 3.7% in the first quarter and operating profit was slightly positive increasing 232 Thousand EUR compared to the last year. Slight improvement in order intake was gratifying in the period under review, which slightly improved the order backlog compared to the previous quarter. Workload in production is reasonably good in the short term.
The coronavirus did not have a major impact on business during the quarter. However, corona delays development projects and to some extent complicates normal business operations, increasing risks. Potential risks have been prepared for and will continue to be prepared for.
The company repeats its outlook, where we are more profitable already on the current year than before, however to a major growth and profitability leap we believe only after year 2020.
