finances
The revenue of the Hönle Group
increased in the first half year by 41.2 % to 18,036 TEUR. The 
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 64.5 % to 3,416 
TEUR. Earnings before taxes (EBT) climbed by 53.7 % to 3,702 TEUR. 
Net income rose even more strongly by 89.1 % to 2,785 TEUR; this 
corresponds to earnings per share of 0.51 EUR (PY: 0.27 EUR) in the 
first six months. Net profit on sales reached 15.4 % compared with 
11.5 % in the previous year.
The Panacol Group and PrintConcept GmbH were consolidated for the 
first time in the second quarter of 2007/2008. Hönle acquired the two
companies in January 2008. Furthermore the positive business 
development in digital print and coating applications contributed to 
the sales and profit increase.
Outlook
The recent Eltosch GmbH acquisition represents a further significant 
milestone in the Hönle Group´s corporate development. For more than 
30 years now, Eltosch has developed, produced and sold drying plants 
for the sheet-fed offset printing industry. Through the acquisition, 
Hönle succeeded in tapping directly into one of the largest UV 
markets. Moreover, Hönle acquired powerful, high quality products, 
fully fledged equipment technology that is secured through several 
patents, and longstanding competence in the UV, infrared, and hot air
drying segments.
The business environment continues to be very positive for UV 
technology. Incoming orders and the orders portfolio of the Hönle 
Group are above the previous year´s level. Hönle expects positive 
effects on revenue from the largest printing machine trade fair of 
the world, DRUPA, where Hönle will present a new generation of UV 
dryers. The equipment, which is based on a patented reflector 
geometry, is characterised by higher UV intensity with simultaneously
reduced temperature development. In addition, new micro controllers 
for controlling plants and, in particular, compact dryers for small 
plants will be exhibited.
Given the present stable economic environment and the acquisitions 
undertaken, Hönle is aiming to achieve an 85% sales increase and a 40
% increase in the operating result (EBIT) for the current financial 
year. Hönle expects income-increasing effects from the Eltosch GmbH 
acquisition to be felt as early as in the coming financial year.
