Lambda Physik AG withdraws sales and earnings forecast for FY 2003 Ad-hoc-announcement transmitted by DGAP. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– Lambda Physik AG withdraws sales and earnings forecast for FY 2003 Göttingen/Germany, June 2, 2003. Lambda Physik AG withdraws the sales and earnings forecast for Fiscal Year 2003 (Oct. 1, 2002 to Sept. 30, 2003). A new outlook cannot be given at the current time. So far Lambda Physik had expected sales of EUR 100 million and positive earnings. The reason for the changed business outlook is besides the continued difficult market environment worldwide especially the eco-nomic weakness of the Asian market which is negatively impacting the industrial business. The impact of SARS has contributed to this trend. In the lithography seg-ment, the continued weakness of the semiconductor industry has led to postponed orders and delayed shipments of the latest technology generation.
