Earnings outlook 2008
The Einhell Germany AG announces the following:
The first half of the financial year 2008 for the Einhell Group was 
marked by the difficult situation on the domestic market and in 
Western Europe.
In the first half-year 2008, the Einhell Group achieved revenues of 
EUR200.9 million, which represents a slight fall of EUR5.1 million or
2.5% in comparison with the previous year.
Earned profits from operations are amounting to EUR11.6 million 
(previous year EUR12.8 million). Thus pre-tax yield in the first 
half-year 2008 was 5.8% (previous year 6.2%).
Group net profit after minority interests in the first half of the 
financial year 2008 amounted to EUR7.8 million (previous year EUR8.8 
million). Earnings per share are calculated at EUR2.1 per share 
(previous year EUR2.3 per share).
Therefore, despite a slight fall in revenues and profits, the Einhell
Group demonstrates that its earning power is sound.
In light of the current situation, The Board of Directors expects 
that planned Group target revenues for 2008 of EUR400 - EUR420 
million will not be met.
This is due mainly to the forecast revenue falls for compressors 
until 31 December 2008 of about EUR20 million. The EU has voted for a
anti-dumping duty of max. 77 % for Chinese compressors.
Group revenues to 31 December 2008 will probably be at the same 
levels as the previous year and it is expected that there will be a 
pre-tax yield of 5 - 6 %.
