Hamburg. Pandatel AG, Hamburg, closed first quarter of FY 04 with EUR
3.1m in sales revenue. Compared to the previous year, turnover
dropped by 20 % in the traditionally weak quarter in the network
market. Development costs have risen due to Pandatel’s product
offensive introducing 15 new products at the CeBIT thus influencing
prior tax earnings: EBT decreased from EUR -2,0m to roughly EUR -2.6
in Q1/2004. The company reported a net loss of EUR 1.7m (net loss
Q1/2003: EUR 1.3m) after taxes. ProVit is yielding first results. The
initiative has been launched at the beginning of the year to increase
efficiency. Consequently, sales cost and administrative expenses have
decreased by app. EUR 0.7m. In the current year, total costs are to
be reduced by ProVit by app. EUR 2m. Therefore, the board expects to
maintain its forecast i.e. to achieve a balanced result for the
current fiscal year.
Transition to project business creates temporary order shortage
Both order backlog and new orders decreased compared to last year
figures. By the end of the period, the order books showed app. EUR
2.0m i.e. EUR 1.9m below last year’s amount. Order receipt totalled
roughly EUR 3.1m. Among other things, this demand shift was caused by
focusing on the more profitable project business that currently
constitutes some 20 % of the sales revenue. Prolonged planning and
release periods caused a dent in order book levels. Pandatel accepts
this change in demand because lot sizes and margins exceed those of
the traditional business. In the medium term, projects shall dominate
the business: The company intends to achieve approximately 80 % of
its sales revenues based on projects in three to five years.
