STEAG HamaTech Reports Preliminary Results For the First Quarter 2006
Sternenfels, May 2, 2006 – STEAG HamaTech AG, a producer of equipment for
the production of optical storage media and advanced process equipment
(APE) for the semi-conductor industry achieved sales of € 17 million
(Q1/05: € 22.6 million) in the first quarter and incurred a loss before
taxes (EBT) in the amount of € 6.7 million (Q1/05: -€ 2.4 million). The
loss includes one-off items in the amount of € 2.2 million, which mainly
stemmed from the shut-down of the business division Pre-Recorded and the
resulting restructuring at the Sternenfels location.
During the past first quarter STEAG HamaTech recorded an order intake of €
18.5 million. During the same period one year ago orders worth € 33.8
million were received. The decline is a consequence of the still difficult
market conditions in the business area Recordable. Customers are postponing
planned capacity expansions due to unsatisfactory low selling prices for
discs. As of March 31, 2006 the order backlog amounted to € 43.3 million.
The complete figures including annotations will be released in the course
of the quarterly report on May 9.
