AS Ekspress Grupp: Juuli müügitulu

Message

Tallinn, Eesti, 2011-08-10 15:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


ASi Ekspress Grupp käive vähenes juulis 2,1% võrreldes eelmise aasta sama
perioodiga. Tegu on sesoonsuse trendi süvenemisega, mis on meediaettevõtetes
seotud erakorraliselt sooja suve ja sellest tuleneva majandusaktiivsuse
pidurdumisega. Reklaamikäive langes pea kõigil turgudel, välja arvatud Läti,
kus võrdlusbaas eelmisest aastast oli madal. Trükiteenuste segmendis kogukäive
küll langes, kuid trükikäive kasvas. Summaarse käibe langus tulenes nende
klientide arvu kasvust, kes ostavad ainult trükiteenust ning toovad oma paberi.

AS Ekspress Grupp: Sales in July

Message

Tallinn, Estonia, 2011-08-10 15:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


The Group's sales in July decreased by 2.1% compared to the same period
previous year. This is increasing seasonal trend, which in media companies is
related to extraordinary hot summer and consequently to slowdown in economic
activity. The advertising sales decreased almost in all markets, except for
Latvia where the comparison basis from the previous year was low. In the
printing services segment the total sales decreased but the print sales
increased. The decrease in total sales is due to the increase in the number of
clients who only buy printing service and provide their own paper.
