Analytik Jena continues positive development in first six months 2003/2004.
Sales and profits considerably higher.
Jena, May 25, 2004 – In the first six months 2003/2004, Analytik Jena generated
sales of EUR 57.617 m (previous year: EUR 38.366 m). EBITDA at EUR 2.910 m was
up 219.4 % against the equivalent period in the previous year of EUR 0.911 m.
Net income for the period was EUR 0.886 m (previous year: EUR 0.080 m).
A key factor in the 50.2% increase of consolidated sales to EUR 57.617 m was
sales in the business unit project solutions. As expected, development was
calmer in the Instrument business.
Despite the generally weak development on the home market of Germany, Analytik
Jena managed to compensate this with exports. In the first half of the 2003/2004
financial year, international business contributed EUR 31.021 m to consolidated
sales (previous year: EUR 18.327 m). The export ratio increased from 47.8 % to
53.8 %.
In the first half of the year, earnings before financial results and taxes on
income (EBIT) were EUR 2.100 m.
For the net income of the period, Analytik Jena posted an increase to EUR 0.886
m (previous year: EUR 0.080 m). This results in earnings per share of EUR 0.23
(previous year: EUR 0.02).
Within the first six months of the financial year 2003/2004, cash and cash
equivalents increased by EUR 2.999 m to EUR 9.798 m.
Shareholders’ equity, taking account of net income for the period under review,
increased by EUR 1.009 m to EUR 22.003 m (as of September 30, 2003: EUR 20.994
m). At the end of the first half 2003/2004, the equity ratio was 53.5 % (as of
September 30, 2003: 40.0 %).
After the positive performance of the first half 2003/2004, AJ anticipates a
seasonally weaker trend in the current third quarter. The objective is to
achieve a balanced result for this period.
