++++ Analytik Jena Increases Consolidated Sales to EUR 58 m ++++
++++ Earnings Improve in Accordance with the Corporate Plans ++++
++++ Forecasts for the Year as a Whole Confirmed ++++
In the first three quarters, Analytik Jena (ISIN: DE 0005213508) increased
accumulated consolidated sales by 16.4% over the comparable period last year to
EUR 58.6 m (previous year: EUR 50.4 m).
The largest proportion of sales, 66.5%, was generated in the project business.
Here, Analytik Jena posted sales of EUR 39.0 m in the first three quarters
(previous year: EUR 29.2 m). In other words, sales in this field increased by
33.5% in the period under review. In the instruments business, the company
generated sales of EUR 16,4 m in the first nine months of the current financial
year (previous year: EUR 17.9 m). The decline of 8.4% in sales compared with the
same period last year reflects the general economic situation. The level of
orders on hand in the group is EUR 106.0 m. International sales contributed a
total of EUR 34.1 m to consolidated sales (previous year: EUR 16.2 m) in the
first nine months of the current financial year. Analytik Jena can report
substantial growth in its export activities. The export ratio was increased from
32.1% in the previous year to 58.2%.
As planned, Analytik Jena generated EBIT of EUR 0.6 m in the first nine months
of the financial year (previous year: EUR 1.1 m). Net income for the period
amounted to EUR 0.1 m as of the balance sheet date (previous year: EUR 0.4 m).
The earnings per share currently amount to EUR 0.03 (previous year: EUR 0.11).
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 1.6 m at the end of the period under
review (September 30, 2002: EUR 4.8 m).
Analytik Jena is aiming for sales of approx. EUR 80 m and thus a substantial
increase compared with the previous year. The company is also maintaining its
earnings forecasts, despite difficult general conditions. The sales
postponements in the business units, however, will also keep earnings before
taxes and interest near the bottom of the forecast range of EUR 0.5 to 1.5 m. In
respect of liquidity, the management currently believes that by the end of the
financial year, cash holdings similar to those that were available at the mid-
year point can be built up. Contact: Analytik Jena AG Thomas Fritsche
