Its gross profit, worth RON21.6 million (EUR4.8 million), was 87% higher than the forecasts for 2015 budget, the company said.
Total revenues stood at RON655 million, while expenses totaled RON633 million.
“This year, Posta Romana will keep its profitability margin, with a positive financial result estimated at RON1.6 million, given that we target an ample investment plan, maybe the most important in the last 10 years,” general manager Alexandru Petrescu stated.
The company plans investments of over RON55 million this year.
The company has previously said it expects a gross profit of RON1.6 million in 2015, down 95.7% compared with last year’s profit, given that it will register only RON1 profit for every RON1,000 in revenue.
This year’s revenues are estimated at RON1.179 billion, 1.4% lower on the year, while expenses are seen 1.7% higher at RON1.178 billion.
Thus, the company will register expenses of RON999 at revenues of RON1,000, up 3.1% compared with RON969 expenses in 2014.
Posta Romana is 75% owned by the Ministry for Information Society and 25% by investment fund Fondul Proprietatea (FP.RO). (EUR1=RON4.4375)
