MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Rotoplas S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: AGUA) ("Rotoplas" or "the Company" or "the Group"), the leading provider of individual and integrated water solutions in the Americas, reported unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and 12 months ended December 31, 2015. The information within has been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"Strong demand for our products and strict financial discipline throughout our company played a key role in 2015, supporting profitability and growth in all markets except Brazil, which continues to be impacted by a challenging economic environment. However, the quick actions we took early in the year to right-size our operations in that country enabled us to contain the impact on our Brazilian business and achieve a breakeven position in the fourth quarter, which we expect to remain sustainable through 2016. There are significant opportunities in the  fast growing global water industry and we will continue to leverage our diverse product suite, unmatched distribution platform and brand recognition to strengthen our footprint while focusing on those factors over which we have control," said Grupo Rotoplas Chief Executive Officer Carlos Rojas Mota Velasco.
