quarterly report
Hönle Group continued to improve its
operating result in the first six months of the 2009/2010 financial 
year. The operating result (EBIT) soared from TEUR -2,180 in the 
previous year to TEUR 2,098 in the first six months of the current 
financial year, while sales revenues were up 11.0 % to TEUR 25,056. 
Earnings before tax (EBT) rose from TEUR -2,204 to TEUR 1,981, while 
the consolidated result increased from TEUR -1,686 to TEUR 1,282. 
Earnings per share climbed from EUR -0.33 to EUR 0.22. The operating 
cash flow improved from TEUR -2,159 in the previous year to TEUR 
1,439 in the first six months of the current financial year.
Outlook: The rebound in demand is continuing at the Hönle Group. 
Incoming orders and existing orders at the end of the six months of 
the current financial year are significantly above the levels 
reported in the previous year. Dr. Hönle AG´s Management Board 
expects the third quarter to be the strongest with respect to sales 
revenues and operating result since the beginning of the current 
financial year. Hönle continues to adhere to its announced annual 
targets, which comprise expected sales revenues ranging from EUR 47 
to EUR 50 million, while the operating result is expected to come in 
at EUR 3 to EUR 4 million.
With a view to handling future growth, Dr. Hönle AG rented another 
company building in Gräfelfing near Munich. Nevertheless, rental 
expenses will remain unchanged as a result of the renegotiation of 
already existing rental agreements. Small investments in the 
acquisition of a machine for improving production efficiency are 
planned for the current quarter. Moreover, the establishing of 
strategic, centralised procurement will lead to cost reductions. New 
staff will be hired for the sales team at Eltosch GmbH in Hamburg. 
The objective is to increase the company´s sale of services and 
spares parts in addition to the sale of systems. A trading company 
will be established in Shanghai with a view to the further tapping of
the Asian adhesives market. The Panacol Group thus continues the 
dynamic expansion of the distribution network in South-East Asia, in 
particular. Additionally, Panacol will continue to invest in the 
development of new adhesives and drive the development of intelligent
adhesives, as an example. To this end, Panacol will also hire new R&D
staff.
As a result of the acquisition of three companies or groups in 2008, 
the Hönle Group became the second largest systems supplier for 
industrial UV technology worldwide. The subsequent restructuring in 
2009 led to a significant reduction in the break-even threshold. 
Hönle has now laid the basis for achieving much higher sales revenues
and operating results than those achieved in the past.
About Hönle: Dr. Hönle AG is a listed technology company with 
registered head office in Gräfelfing, near Munich. With a staff level
of ca. 250 employees, the Hönle Group is one of the world´s leading 
systems suppliers in the UV technology segment. The equipment and
