financial results for year ending 3 February 2013

e14 Contributor

Premier Farnell today released finacial results for the year ending 3 Febuary 2013.

 

  http://www.premierfarnell.com/content/results-fourth-quarter-and-financial-year-ended-3-february-2013

 

Unlike some previous results, the RPi received neither credit nor blame nor future anticipation.

Its only mention was as an excluded item in the bullet which says:

 

"Our active customer base exited Q4 up 1.3% on the prior year and 0.8 percentage points over Q3,

excluding Raspberry Pi, reflecting the strength of our proposition and giving us confidence in future opportunities."

  • I believe part of the agreement to manufacture and sell Raspberry Pi's was that they were sold near or at cost.  Element 14 makes little to no money off the Pi's. They do make a ton off of the accessories (keyboards, mice, power units, cases and bundles).  That part of why they've put so much time and money into developing this forum for projects.
