MEXICO CITY, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Rotoplas SAB de CV (BMV: AGUA) ("Rotoplas", "the Company" or "the Group"), the leading provider of individual and integrated water solutions in the Americas, reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter 2016. The information within has been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
"We believe our first quarter 2016 provided further confirmation of Rotoplas' ability to continue its course of positive results, overcoming headwinds to produce strengthened profitability, sustained revenues in Mexico and growth in all of our other core markets excluding Brazil. Strong demand for our products, improved sales mix, favorable raw materials costs and strict financial controls throughout our organization again drove profitability this quarter despite the negative impact from Brazil on our top line. We believe these results demonstrate not only the fundamental strength of Rotoplas' value proposition to provide the world with more and better water, but also our continued ability to manage the factors over which we have control," said Carlos Rojas Mota Velasco, Grupo Rotoplas Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter we also welcomed Talsar S.A. as a new member of the Rotoplas family, including the employees and customers who have been instrumental to Talsar's leading market position in Argentina. We continue to evaluate our acquisition pipeline to identify similar opportunities that will add meaningful value to our business and shareholders."
