Grupo Rotoplas S.A.B. de C.V. (AGUA.MX) ("Rotoplas", "the Company" or "the Group"), the leading provider of individual and integrated water solutions in the Americas, reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2017.  The information within has been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"Our third quarter results show a continuing trend of strong sales growth and increasing profitability, with double-digit year-over-year growth in both sales and EBITDA and with a good margin expansion. Our solutions' portfolio reconfiguration strategy continues to be proven successful, with a better and more profitable product mix.  Our cost-control efforts through the zero based budget management framework continues to have a very positive impact in the profitability of our largest operations.  And because of our organic sales growth and acquisition strategy, we have been able to significantly reduce the share of the government channel in our total sales, thus reducing our exposure to the socio-economic and budgetary uncertainty that has affected some of our markets" remarked Carlos Rojas Mota Velasco, CEO of Grupo Rotoplas.
