GomSpace (provider of nanosatellites) announces its quarterly results for the first quarter 2018
Stockholm, May 24, 2018. GomSpace Group AB (the “Company”) announces its interim report for the first quarter of 2018. The report is available on the Company’s homepage (www.gomspace.com). The following is taken from the quarterly report:
“We are very happy to welcome the new shareholders who joined GomSpace in the directed share issue at the beginning of March. This new capital puts us in a good position to carry through our accelerated growth plans.
We are pleased that we also in this quarter continued to grow considerably faster than our goal at 70% which was in our original plans.
Net revenues in the first quarter 2018 were T.SEK 37,738 compared to T.SEK 18,997 in the first quarter of 2017.
The growth in revenue exceeds our plans. In the first quarter 2018 the growth was 99% compared to the first quarter of 2017 and it grew 27% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Without the partial elimination of revenue from Aerial & Maritime Ltd., the growth in revenue would have been 102% in the first quarter 2018.”
CEO Niels Buus commented.
