Thule registers sales growth in Q1

27/04/2016
Swedish outdoor group Thule reported first quarter net sales of $163 million, up 6% in currency-neutral terms, despite a decline in sales in the Americas.

The company’s sales in the region dropped 4% due to economic weakness and political unrest in Latin America but 11% growth in European sales offset the decline.

Underlying Earnings Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) increased 15% in currency-neutral terms to $28 million whilst net income rose 21.6% to $20 million.
