Our transformational journey continues
Business transformation, building growth and developing a growth mindset were the dominant themes in 2019. At Nordic Morning Group, we believe in making the world a better experience – in every little detail, in everything we say and everything we do, at every level of our organization.
Restructuring our operations, building the new organizational setup, implementing the new common enterprise resource planning platform and leading the change were the focus areas in 2019.
The transformational journey for Nordic Morning Group continues, and with that the constant improvements to our offerings and processes, investments in building our culture and ways of working alongside identifying further efficiency innovations.
Result 2019
Consolidated net revenue was EUR 77.6 million (EUR 76.4 million). Net revenue grew in the Edita Prima business area thanks to new, more extensive customer agreements. Net revenue declined particularly in the Nordic Morning business area due to a decrease in subcontracting and lost customers. In the Edita Publishing business area, net revenue decreased mainly due to lower revenue from learning materials and made-to-order products.
Operating profit was EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.9 million). Non-recurring items totalled EUR -1.0 million (EUR -0.5 million). The non-recurring income included in the operating profit totaled EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.0 million).
