The PALFINGER Group recorded a highly satisfying  business  
performance  in  the first nine months of 2010.
The recovery of the markets was reflected in steady organic growth  
and  results that were clearly positive. Moreover, the Group´s entry 
into the North  American market of access platforms through the 
acquisition of a majority  stake  in  ETI in March 2010 as well as 
the integration of the marine customer segment  through the 
acquisition of a majority stake in NDM in July brought  about  a  
favourable inorganic growth of revenue and earnings. The measures 
that were implemented  in 2009 in order to cut  costs  and  make  the
value-creation  process  even  more flexible as well as the focus 
placed on increasing  earnings  in  North  and  in particular  in  
South  America  were  additional  factors  contributing  to  the 
increase in margins. The positive trend of previous quarters was thus
continued even though revenue recorded in the third quarter 2010 fell
short of the second- quarter level due to the three-week company 
holiday during  the  summer  months, when earnings are traditionally 
low.
At EUR 464.9 million, revenue in the first three quarters 2010 was 
19.9  percent higher than in the same period of 2009, when revenue 
was EUR 387.9  million.  In the period under review EBIT came to EUR 
22.4  million  and,  after  EUR  -  6.1 million in the same period of
2009,  showed  a  significantly  larger  increase relative to 
revenues.
The business performance  over  the  first  three  quarters  2010  
reflects  the expected decline as a result of the company holiday in 
the summer. Revenue  (Q1: EUR 129.4 million; Q2: EUR 168.0 million; 
Q3: EUR 167.5 million)  in  the  third quarter 2010 still exceeded 
the level recorded in the same  period  of  2009  by 41.1 percent. 
EBIT has turned sustainably positive again (Q1: EUR  3.4  million; 
Q2: EUR 10.1 million; Q3: EUR 8.8 million).
In the first nine months of 2010 cash flows from operating  
activities  came  to EUR 32.9 million, thus almost attaining the 
previous year´s level  of  EUR  33.6 million while, on the basis of 
the acquisitions made, cash flows from  investing activities 
increased to EUR - 30.8 million. Free cash flow amounted to  EUR  6.8
million, underlining PALFINGER´s equity financing capability.
In  early  November  2010  PALFINGER  reached  an  agreement  with  
its   former competitor Ross & Bonnyman Limited in Great Britain 
regarding  the  takeover  of its service business for commercial tail
lifts.
Hence, the satisfactory business performance was continued in the 
third  quarter 2010, even though revenue and earnings remained  below
the  previous  quarter´s levels due to the company holiday.  A  
continuation  of  the  underlying  slight upward trend is expected 
for the fourth quarter. For the entire  2010  financial year 
management therefore reckons with a plus in organic  and  inorganic  
growth of more than 20 percent, assuming that the  very  strong  
increase  in  earnings will continue and that total earnings will be 
clearly positive.
