Tobii AB today reported its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016. Tobii exceeded SEK 1 billion in annual sales and strengthened its cash position for increased investments in VR and smartphones.
Comment by Tobii’s CEO Henrik Eskilsson:
“2016 was another exciting and eventful year for Tobii. Tobii Tech passed key milestones in computer gaming, which also contributed to a significant rise in sales for the business unit for the fourth quarter. Together with Huawei, we also took our first step into the smartphone market. The rights issue that we recently carried out provides us with the muscle to further increase the pace of investment and address more areas simultaneously within Tobii Tech. We also continued to invest in market and product development in Tobii Dynavox and Tobii Pro to further grow and increase profitability over the long-term. Adjusted for currency effects and one-off effects, the Group’s net sales increased by 10% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 and for the full year we exceeded SEK 1 billion in sales.”
