Notes on the third quarter results:
After the first nine months, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG boasts a
strong growth in turnover of 46.5% and an even better rise in
profits. This enabled the company to post the highest turnover in its
almost 30 year history. The good development is attributable to the
continuing sales successes in Asia. The engines of growth in the
third quarter continue to be laser systems which show an impressive
year-on-year growth of 51.2%. Turnover is developing positively in
the Rapid PCB Prototyping segment, which also continues to have room
for further growth generated by new products. The turnover of
inspection systems (segment special systems) had the highest growth
rate. Among other things these systems have opened up a new market
for 3D-inspection systems for the chip-packaging industry with
considerable growth potential for LPKF.
Outlook 2005:
The results in the first nine months and the much higher level of
orders in hand compared to the same period last year clearly
highlight the sustainability of LPKF’s growth. The Board of Managing
Directors has therefore raised its turnover forecast for the ongoing
financial year by 10% to EUR 33 million, and confirms the planning
figures issued last year of EUR 50 million for 2007. The Board of
Managing Directors forecasts a turnover of EUR 41 million in 2006.
The corporate strategy continues to be focussed on cutting and
drilling lasers, and the inspection systems. Establishment of a
subsidiary in Hong Kong, LPKF Laser & Electronics (ASIA), has now
been successfully completed and will start operations at the
beginning of 2006.
LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted in the Prime Standard
