——————————————————————————
Contrary to the market trend, DR. SCHELLER COSMETICS AG continued in the
first quarter of 2006 the positive development of the prior-year.
At EUR 18,443 k, the sales of the Group match the prior-year level. The
improved gross profit (EUR +331 k) is above all attributable to the
decrease in the cost of materials, which was EUR 300 k lower than the prior
year.
At EUR 430 k, EBIT of the Group is significantly higher than in the prior
year (EUR -241 k), reflecting the course for success taken.
Earnings after taxes reached EUR 120 k (prior year: EUR -559 k) and were
within the range expected. Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.02.
