Financial Development in 2014

The demand for automotive software products and services developed well during the whole year. Net sales of the Automotive Business Segment in 2014 grew to EUR 171.4 million (EUR 138.3 million, in 2013), representing 24.0 per cent growth year-on-year. Operating profit improved clearly from the previous year and was EUR 16.0 million (EUR 8.5 million, in 2013). The demand for EB´s software products and R&D services remained good, including the jointly owned company e.solutions GmbH. The improvement of the operating profit was driven mainly by the net sales growth of R&D services and good performance in services projects, the growth of software license sales and the lower R&D investments.
