Jan 26, 2011. /Lesprom Network/. Rottneros reports a profit after net financial items amounted to SEK 138 million ($21.3 million) for the full year 2010. Operating profit amounted to SEK 138 million ($21.3 million) for the full year 2010. Profit after net financial items amounted to SEK 13 million ($2 million) for the 4Q 2010, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 202 million ($31 million) for the full year 2010. “Rottneros' profit before tax amounted to SEK 13 million ($2 million) for the 4Q. This reduction in profit compared with a profit of SEK 64 million ($9.9 million) for the 3Q was primarily due to the planned shutdown of production at Vallvik and the strengthening of the Swedish kronor. In addition to an increase in costs per se, the very high electricity prices in December meant that production at Rottneros Mill had to stop at several occasions in December,” CEO Ole Terland said.
