2011/2012 financial year Annual sales at EUR 51.41 million: 1.5% annual growth
Significant points for the last quarter and the whole year:
Continued resistance in a difficult macro-economic situation (Q4 up by 8.5%)
As anticipated, Hardware activity reaches highest level for the year in Q4
Encouraging results for LED signs and a new generation of static frames compensates for the marked drop in three-message sign sales (observed over the last three years)
Home Decor activity similar to last year
Printing activity in line with last year activity due to good Q4 results

Q4 sales are up by 8.5% on N-1.
Due to this strong performance, 2S figures are stable compared with N-1 (- 0.5%).
For the 12-month period, Printing activity, excluding Home Décor, at €19.1 million is down slightly by 0.3%. The negative economic environment described in Q3, principally in South Africa and Spain, has been counterbalanced by new markets in Canada and France.
Home Décor sales at €12.2 million are similar to N-1 results despite a downward pressure on prices while volumes remain buoyant.
Hardware activity (excluding Home Décor) at €20.1 million is up 4.1% due to Q4 sales of over €6.6 million and encouraging results for LED displays. Group activity, however, has not returned to pre-crisis levels. High-value product results are on the up.
Outlook
Despite active destocking in Q4, on March 31, 2012, order backlog, essentially for Hardware, is encouraging at €6.2 million.
Prismaflex International, with diversified product lines, shall continue to invest in state-of-the-art technologies in order to fully benefit from an economic upturn.
