Össur’s net profit increase was 45% and amounted to 59 million USD or 12% of sales, compared to 41 million USD or 9% of sales in 2013.
“We closed the year with yet another strong quarter despite adverse currency fluctuations which negatively impacted our operating results,” said CEO Jón Sigurðsson. “Prosthetics sales growth was excellent across all our major markets.”
