AS Ekspress Grupp: Veebruari müügitulu

Message

Tallinn, Eesti, 2012-03-12 16:03 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


ASi Ekspress Grupp käive kasvas veebruaris 9.1% võrreldes eelmise aasta sama
perioodiga. Online-meedia segment kasvas 10,7%, suurimat kasvu näitas Delfi
Eesti. Perioodiliste väljaammete segment kasvas 7,3%. Trükiteenuste käive
kasvas 17,3%. Elimineerides Eesti Päevalehe ASi omandamisega lisandunud käibe,
kasvas kontserni käive aastataguse ajaga 6,2% ning perioodiliste väljaannete
käive vähenes 5,2%. Endiselt on vähenemise põhjuseks raamatute kirjastamise
käibe vähenemine võrreldes eelmise aastaga. Reklaamikäibe osas oli pea kõigil
väljaannetel tugev kuu, üksikmüügi ja tellimuste käive püsis enam-vähem eelmise
aasta tasemel.

AS Ekspress Grupp: Sales in February

Message

Tallinn, Estonia, 2012-03-12 16:03 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


The Group’s sales in February increased by 9.1% compared to the same period
previous year. The online media segment increased by 10.7% with Delfi Estonia
being the largest contributor to the growth. The periodicals segment increased
by 7.3%. The sales of the printing services segment grew by 17.3%. When
eliminating the additional sales in relation to the acquisition of Eesti
Päevalehe AS, the Group’s sales increased by 6.2% compared to last year and the
sales of periodicals decreased by 5.2%. The decrease in the periodicals segment
is still due to declined book publishing sales compared to previous year. In
regards of advertising sales, almost all publications had a good month, single
copy sales and subscription sales remained more or less at the previous year’s
level.
