Business year 2000 according to plan;
2001 with significant growth
Bietigheim-Bissingen. 19th April 2001
2000 with a decline in sales and profits as expected
At today’s press conference on the statement of assets and liabilities, the full
management board is releasing figures which correspond to the expectations
announced in the autumn of last year:
The group turnover was DM 66.2 million after DM 70.8 million in 1999. As
expected, the sales of drilling heads were lower; this could not be completely
compensated for by higher proceeds from centrifuges. In this connection, the
reluctance to purchase before the ACHEMA Fair in May as well as the hesitation
caused by the election campaign in the USA were particularly apparent.
Advance production costs for orders which were shipped in the 1st quarter of
2001, as well as increased expenditures for the further international expansion
of the company encumbered the debit side. The annual surplus was almost
unchanged at DM 3.5 million (1999: DM 3.7 million). The net return was improved
from 5.2% to 5.3%. Earnings per share were 0.30 EUR after 0.48 EUR in 1999.
The full management board and the supervisory board have decided to propose a
dividend of 0.12 EUR plus tax credit to the annual general meeting on the 29th
May 2001. As a result, the net dividend return is calculated at 3.75%.
2001 with significant growth
As the leading manufacturer of inverting filter centrifuges, HEINKEL meets the
increasing demands of the biotech and pharmaceutical industry with regard to
constantly higher product quality and purity with low production costs. It is no
coincidence that 90% of all inverting filter centrifuges installed throughout
the world originate from the HEINKEL company. At the same time. HEINKEL has so
far only had a modest part of the separation of solids/liquids business. The
company is also continuing its international expansion: the areas of focus are
South East Asia and the USA. The objective of HEINKEL is to continue to
consolidate its leading position.
The beginning of the year 2001 has so far been very encouraging. The total
amount arising from completed sales and the order book increased by 28.6% to DM
40.5 million in the 1st quarter. As a result, the full management board expects
a significant increase in sales and profits for the full business year 2001.
