Bruck an der Mur, 24.August 2004. In the first nine months of the
current business year (1.10.2003 to 30.09.2004) Pankl Racing Systems
AG shows sales amounting to 55.9 million EUR, which corresponds to an
increase of almost 7 percent compared to the  period last year (52,3
million EUR). The sales growth in the expired quarter first of all
goes back to the segment Racing/Automobile. Additional business in
the European top-racing series with current and new customers as well
as a continuing strong demand for pistons in the USA had a positive
impact on the sales in the third quarter.
3 % EBIT in spite of continuously high project expenditures
With a result before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 1.4 million EUR in
first nine months of the current business year (1-9/2003: 0.1 million
EUR) the company shows the sustainable return to the black. This
result corresponds to an EBIT-margin of almost 3 percent (1-9/2003:
0.2 percent). The company achieved this significant improvement of
the margin compared to last year in spite of continuously high  R&D
project expenditures amounting to 3.8 million EUR (1-9/03: 3.4
million EUR).
Before consideration of the costs for defined development projects,
which are worked on besides the current development activities of the
company, Pankl achieves a margin of more than 9 percent (1-3/2003: 7
percent).
Positive net income for the period
The net income in first nine months is TEUR 246 after TEUR  -485 in
the period last year. This corresponds to an increase of the net
result by 150 percent. The result per share in the first nine months
of the current business year therefore is 0.06 EUR 
(1-9/2003: - 0.12 EUR).
Outlook: 
"Back to Profit" - the realisation of this goal has highest priority
for the company. In this business year Pankl  calculates a maximum of
5.4 million EUR for R&D project expenditures. For this business year
the predicted increase of sales will remain moderate between 5 to 10
percent.
Within the framework of a capital increase Pankl intends to take a 25
percent share in a Slovakian automobile supplier. The background of
this strategic share is the possible outsourcing of additional orders
in the serial connecting rod production for luxury automobile
vehicles. Taking the share will be carried out at the latest by the
end of August 2004.
