ASPO EARNINGS STRONGER THAN EXPECTED
2004-01-21T09:00:44 CETThe Aspo Group's performance during the last quarter has outstripped expectations. The mild weather in early winter has enabled the Shipping operations to exceed earnings forecasts. The sale of the company's headquarters facility at the end of the year will also bolster the fiscal 2003 financial performance. The non-recurring items accounted for approximately EUR 3 million in the fourth quarter.
Aspo's earnings per share will be approximately EUR 1.00/share, clearly exceeding the figure of EUR 0.66/share for the previous fiscal year. The final announcement of the fiscal 2003 financial performance will be released on 11 February 2004.
