Analytik Jena – trends positive through the first half of the fiscal year
– Sales in the first half rose 124% to EUR 38.6m
– EBIT of over EUR 1.1m matches last year’s level
– Order backlog increased considerably to EUR 104m
Analytik Jena has extended its growth trend through the first six months (of the
current fiscal year October 10, 2001 – March 31, 2002). The group’s sales rose
124.5 percent to EUR 38.59m (2000/1: EUR 17.19m). The positive sales trend is
chiefly due to the considerable number of major projects completed by the
Project Solutions business unit’s joint venture, AJZ Engineering GmbH. Foreign
sales amounted to a total EUR 11.74m in the first half (2000/1: EUR 2.77m),
nearly doubling as a portion of total sales to 30.4 percent since last year
(2000/1: 16.1 percent).
Gross earnings rose 72.1 percent to a total EUR 9.96m (2000/1: EUR 5.79m).
Despite considerable investment in development and distribution, earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) fell slightly for the period in a year-on-year
comparison from EUR 1.13m to EUR 1.12m. The company invested substantially in
its European and Asian distribution networks as well as in the expansion of its
research and development activities. The company’s net income came to EUR 0.62m
(2000/1: EUR 0.80m) for the six-month period of this report, resulting in EUR
0.18 in earnings per share (2000/1: EUR 0.23).
As of the reporting date, March 31, 2002, Analytik Jena’s liquid assets amounted
to EUR 14.36m, consisting to a great degree of advance payments for major
projects in the Project Solutions business unit.
Owing to the nature of the industry, Analytik Jena anticipates lower sales
figures in the third quarter and a strong fourth quarter which will contribute
greatly towards achieving the company’s goals for the year. “The business trend
over the first half year, together with our comfortable order backlog of over
104 million euros, is making us confident of achieving sales of over 60 million
euros and an EBIT of approximately 1.7 million euros, thus fulfilling the
predictions for the year,” said Klaus Berka, chairman of the board of Analytik
Jena AG.
