Lexmark printer sales increased by 7% year-on-year, the growth rate is at the forefront of the global market, the company adds. Consumables revenue increased by 4% year-on-year. Ninestar adds that various unfavourable factors such as European and South American exchange rates fluctuations and the increase in tariffs due to Sino-US trade war in 2019 did have a significant negative impact on Lexmark’s revenue and profits. Ninestar writes that these two effects mean that profit decreased by $64 million (€57.44 million) and in addition, Lexmark’s RMB loans will be affected by exchange rates in 2019.
