Ongoing positive development with Hönle (E)

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
The positive development of the UV specialist Hönle (ISIN: DE000
515710 1) continued in the second quarter of financial year
2003/2004. Group sales rose in the first six month by 32 % to T EUR
10,423. All three business segments saw sales increases. Growth was
most significant in the inks and coatings curing segment where sales
rose from T EUR 4,710 in the first half of 2002/2003 to T EUR 6,323
in the first half of 2003/2004.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased during the same
period by 137.8 % from T EUR 489 to T EUR 1,164. Earnings before
taxes (EBT) increased by 62.4 % from T EUR 884 to T EUR 1,436. Due to
losses carried forward from the previous financial year and to
deferred  taxes disclosed for Wellomer GmbH in the last financial
year, the six-month net income of T EUR 911 was lower than in the
comparable previous year’s period (T EUR 1,004).
The equity ratio amounts to 83.8 %.The total liquid funds and
financial assets portfolio amounts to T EUR 15,634, despite dividend
payments of T EUR 417 and the premium of T EUR 389 paid within the
context of acquisition of the participation certificates. This
corresponds to a cash proportion of EUR 2.98 per share.
Outlook:
In our opinion, the positive development of the Hönle Group will also
continue in the third quarter. Due to orders on hand and intake of
new orders, sales and earnings are likely to rise further in the next
quarter in comparison to the previous year’s quarter. We expect
positive effects for the next quarters as a result of the Drupa trade
fair taking place in May.
