It was a strong quarter, with net sales of SEK 23.4 million (USD 2.75 million), and profit after tax reaching SEK 4.3 million (USD 510,000). Looking to full-year totals, the company’s consolidated net sales reached SEK 56.3 million (USD 6.61 million), and its net loss after tax decreased considerably compared to its 2014 results, reaching SEK -9.4 million (USD -1.1 million).

Summing up, Persson said that Precise Biometrics has established itself “as the leading supplier of fingerprint software for the mobile device market,” and reaffirmed that the company will continue to push ahead in other product areas. “The company is stronger than ever, and is well-positioned for continued profitable growth,” he said.
