As expected, a weak first quarter for Hönle;
Increase in new orders in January 2002
Planegg/Munich, 25 February 2002. Hönle, one of the leading suppliers of
industrial UV technology generated sales of TEUR 3,011 in the first quarter of
2001/2002 compared to TEUR 4,703 in the same period of the previous year. This
decline, which had already been announced in December 2001, was a result of the
weak economy in all industrialised states as well as shifts in project business.
Low sales had a direct impact on results; in addition, start-up costs were
incurred for the new subsidiary, Aladin GmbH, manufacturer of UV lamps, and the
Spanish sales company, Honle Spain S.A.. Consequently, EBIT in the first quarter
of 2001/2002 amounted to TEUR -301 (Q1 2000/2001: TEUR 1,184), income after
taxes came to TEUR -41 (Q1 2000/2001: TEUR 557), and earnings per share were
TEUR -0.01(Q1: TEUR 0.11).
In light of the increase in orders received in January 2002 compared with those
of previous months and an improving economic situation, Hönle continues to
expect sales to grow by approximately 10 per cent and results to equal the
previous year’s level. As from the next financial year onwards, Hönle assumes
significant sales growth and an above-average improvement in results. It is
expected that the new subsidiaries will then also be in a position to make
positive contributions to profits.
