Notes on the quarterly results:
Turnover and EBIT in the first six months of financial year 2007 are slightly
down on expectations. The management regards delays in system deliveries as
being responsible, in particular to China. This situation is joined by the slow
development of cutting lasers in the first half year.
At the same time, orders received and orders in hand are at record levels. The
sales successes in the 3D-MID, Rapid PCB Prototyping and Solar segments are
extremely satisfactory. The first complete system for solar cell structuring
was installed in July and, after customer acceptance, received a very positive
assessment. This represents a crucial step forward in establishing LPKF Laser &
Electronics AG as equipment supplier to the solar cell industry.
Outlook
Taking the deliveries of July and the first half of August into account
together with the high level of orders in hand, LPKF expects to see a strong
third quarter in 2007 such that the turnover target for the current financial
year remains unchanged at Euro 45 million.
The plastic-welding, 3D-MID and solar segments are considered to offer
substantial growth potential. Expanding sales of these products in
international markets is currently a focal point of management activities in
order to underpin the Group's continued dynamic development.
