Thanks for the link MM.  It's a decent set of results.  Turnover and earnings improved although earnings are still slightly negative.

 

Some key points for those not inclined to read the whole document (I would encourage anyone interested in B&O to read the 2 1/2 page letter to shareholders at the front):

Overall turnover was up 12%. (Play turnover up 27%, core B&O turnover up 3%.)

Play now represents 42% of the overall business.

Speaker revenues have fallen to 385DKK million from 500DKK million.  I was surprised by this but it seems that the BS1 and BS2  which are included in the "music systems" category have at least in part offset this decline. 

TV revenues (which still represent 29% of the total business) are up slightly on the previous year in absolute terms.

Looking forwards, growth expectations are at least10% per annum increase in sales with 12% profit before interest and tax over the next three years.  That would be pretty good.

Thanks for the post and the summary

I must admit when I saw Peter Pan's "red blood" 'post' I was afraid bad news was coming

Peter Pan is very fond of 'red blood' when it comes to Bang & Olufsen of today.
