——————————————————————————–
Dusseldorf, 4th November 2003, in Q3 2003, sales revenue fell 7.6% to Euro 58.1
million as planned. A decline in sales of 7.9% to Euro 163.5 million thus
results for the first nine months. The improved sales development in comparison
to Q2 2003 (-11.4%) is due in particular to the early cyclical Industrial
division, in which sales revenues in Q3 2003 increased by a pleasing 6.3%. The
gross margin developed very pleasingly in the quarter under consideration. It
increased 90 base points to 39.2%. As at 30.9.2003 a gross margin of 36.1%
results, against 35.3% in the same period of the previous year. Against the
background of the increased gross margin and the positive costs structure the
pre-tax margin increased from10.6% to 11.0% in the quarter under consideration,
which is equivalent to a decline in the result before tax of Euro 3.7% to 6.4
million. As at 30 September the pre-tax margin of 7.0% was maintained in spite
of the decline in sales. Even if the planned group sales for the year 2003 as a
whole of Euro 221 million will not be achieved by a narrow margin, the Board of
Management of DIS AG anticipates that the planned pre-tax result of Euro 14.5
million (-9% in comparison to the previous year) will be achieved due to the
better-than-expected gross margin and the optimised cost structure.
