(Asslar, 07.03.2006) – PVA TePla AG, Asslar, has published it provisional
figures for the 2005 financial year. Group revenues reached € 51.4 million,
an increase of 16.3% relative to the prior year figure of € 44.2 million.
Group income before interest and taxes (EBIT) was € 1.4 million,
significantly higher than the prior year figure of € 0.3 million and thus
at the upper end of forecasts for the 2005 financial year.
Excellent growth was seen in both incoming orders, at € 64 million (2004: €
54.1 million), and order backlog, at € 33 million (2004: € 20.5 million).
The book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 at year-end was on a par with the very good
figure a year before. This means that around 50% of the forecast annual
revenue for 2006 is already included in the order backlog as at 31.12.2005.
The order situation in the first months of 2006 has also been progressing
very positively.
The Management Board assumes that revenue in the current business year will
increase by around 30% compared to the prior year. The EBIT margin is
expected to lie between 4 and 6%.
The annual financial statements for 2005, in complete and audited form,
will be published as planned on 31 March 2005.
