AD HOC RELEASE
PALFINGER achieves record results in the first half year of 2005
•       Revenue goes up 33%, EBIT 118%
•       For the whole year 2005 also record figures are expected
Bergheim/Salzburg, August 10th 2005
Compared to half year 2004 PALFINGER increased its revenue by 63.3m
EUR or 33.21% to 253.9m EUR. EBIT went up even more by 118% to 37.4m.
Consequently, EBIT margin rose to above 14% in the first half year.
The high level of capacity utilization, the positive performance of
the market, good progress in all business areas and the high standard
in product development were mainly responsible for the best result in
history.
Consolidated net profit was more than doubled to 27.7m EUR. Earnings
per share, therefore, soared to 3.14 EUR.
Gearing Ratio could be lowered to 17.1% and equity capital rose to
52.1% of total capital. PALFINGER’s capital structure has now a solid
basis for further growth.
In the product areas PALFINGER cranes are still the core business.
Also Epsilon posted record results, while, as expected, Bison dragged
down the results due to relocation and integration costs to the
Eastern European production site. Guima did not fare as well as
expected, however it generated positive EBIT in the second quarter.
For the full year PALFINGER once again expects record results in
terms of revenue and EBIT. In the second half of 2005 the acquisition
of Ratcliff, the British market leader in taillights, will be
integrated.
