Binder+Co again improves all its key indicators for the first quarter
of 2008
Gleisdorf, May 20, 2008. The 2007 financial year was already 
characterised by a thoroughly favourable economic climate for 
Binder+Co, which specialises in processing, environmental and 
packaging technology, and this positive market mood continued in the 
first quarter of 2008. As a result of the solid basis established in 
the last quarter of 2007, Binder+Co was again able to markedly 
improve both its sales figures and result for the first three months 
of 2008.
Strong sales growth continues During the first quarter of 2008, 
Binder+Co achieved total revenues of EUR 15.01 million, which 
represented an increase of EUR 3.40 million, or 29.3%, over the 
preceding year. The decisive factor in this notable rise was the 
completion of several major projects. With EUR 8.03 million (+18.1%) 
the Processing Technology Segment again provided the bulk of sales 
revenues (53.5%). The Environmental Technology Segment attained 
revenues of EUR 3.98 million (+78.5%), which mirrored the high levels
of market dynamism in this sector, while the Packaging Technology 
Segment had revenues of EUR 3.00 million (+16.3%).
Foreign sales in the first quarter of 2008 accounted for 81.1% 
(Q1/2007: 82.6%) of total revenues. Europe (western and eastern 
Europe, including Austria) continued to be the main market with a 
share of 86.7%. 7.1% of sales revenues emanated from Asia and 
Australia, 6.2% from Africa and the Americas.
Profit on a solid basis On the basis of this positive revenue 
development, as compared to the corresponding period of the previous 
year, Binder+Co was able to raise its EBIT by 24.5%, from EUR 0.94 
million to EUR 1.17 million. The largest contribution to this figure 
derived from the Processing Technology Segment with EUR 0.84 million,
followed by Packaging Technology with EUR 0.31 million and 
Environmental Technology, which also achieved a positive quarterly 
result of EUR 0.02 million.
Order intake more than doubled The order situation developed in an 
especially satisfactory manner. At EUR 28.69 million, order intake 
was more than double that for the first three months of 2007. 
Moreover, at the end of the first quarter, order backlog amounted to 
EUR 33.75 million, which was also markedly higher than the comparable
figures for the preceding year (December 31, 2007: EUR 20.07 million,
March 31, 2007: EUR 16.3 million).
Outlook On the basis of the solid order backlog as at March 31, 2008,
the Binder+Co management anticipates that overall sales revenues and 
EBIT for the 2008 financial year will at least emulate the 
satisfactory level of 2007.
In the medium-term, Binder+Co´s corporate strategy is aimed at the 
opening up of new markets, especially in the CEE region, and an 
intensification of efforts in existing sales areas. At the same time,
Binder+Co is working on the development of new and innovative 
products and the ongoing enhancement of the existing product 
portfolio. In addition, productivity at the Gleisdorf location is 
being raised continually in order to ensure that the solid result 
level can be maintained in the longer term.
The Binder+Co share price follows the market trend During the period 
under review, in line with the general market trend, the price of the
Binder+Co AG share, which is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, 
showed a downward trend. On the basis of a level of EUR 12.79 at the 
beginning of 2008, the price fell by around 5.0% in the first three 
months of the year and on March 31, 2008, stood at EUR 12.15. As 
compared to the ATX and WBI, which in the same period fell by 16.5% 
and 13.2% respectively, the Binder+Co share performed relatively 
well.
Binder+Co Binder+Co AG specialises in processing, environmental and 
packaging technology and is the world market leader in the field of 
screening technology and glass recycling. The company, which has been
listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since December 2006, was admitted
to the newly created mid market segment in June 2007 and in July 2007
was authorised to participate in OTC trading. With an average of 214 
employees, in 2007 Binder+Co achieved sales of EUR 53.4 million and 
hence EBIT of EUR 4.9 million. Accordingly, the EBIT margin amounted 
to a solid 9.2%.
