PKC Group with 'special measures to improve profitability'?

"Deliveries in the Electronics business remained at the level of the previous quarter. Deliveries from Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) continued to grow, but deliveries from Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) fell during the first half of the year. As a result of weakened profitability, special measures to improve profitability will be targeted at the Electronics business", writes the company. Demand for electronic subcontracting services remained at the level of the previous quarter in PKC's key markets. The availability of electronic components improved. Deliveries by PKC’s Electronics business increased over the comparison period, but failed to reach the level of the previous quarter on account of the postponement of certain customer projects. - Consolidated net sales grew 45.4% on the comparison period (1-6/2010), totalling EUR 206.2 million (EUR 141.8 million). - Consolidated operating profit was EUR 16.7 million (EUR 10.4 million) i.e. 8.1% (7.3%) of net sales.
