Sales at EUR 28.1 million / EBIT rises to EUR 2.4 million / Well equipped for the future after turnaround
Munich, March 19th, 2010 - PULSION Medical Systems AG, a life science corporation specializing in medical diagnostic and therapy systems, generated sales of EUR 28.1 million (2008: EUR 28.0 million) in the financial year 2009. The operating profit (EBIT) improved fourfold to EUR 2.4 million compared with EUR 0.6 million in 2008 (+314%). Not only was a stop put to the downward trend experienced in 2008 but also business performance turned around in 2009. The realignment of sales activities initiated towards the end of 2008 was successfully executed over the course of the year. The key points of this process were a change in selling approach - focusing on the medical benefits of products rather than on price - and rigorous implementation of a potential-oriented sales management system. In addition, operating costs were reduced substantially thanks to a cost reduction program.
Earnings per share improved from a negative 8 cents to a positive 5 cents per share. PULSION reports a group net profit after minority interests of EUR 0.5 million for the financial year 2009 compared to a group net loss of EUR 0.7 million for the previous year (+164%). The cash flow from operating activities increased fourfold from EUR 1.0 million in 2008 to EUR 4.0 million in 2009 (+ 303%). Earnings would have been better still if it had not been for numerous exceptional expenses, in particular those caused by the resignation of
three Members of the Management Board and the related litigation. Equity increased by EUR 0.8 million from EUR 16.2 million to EUR 17.0 million, while the equity ratio fell from 68% to 66%. 'Over the past year, we have succeeded in laying down the foundation for the current and future financial years. In 2010 the Management Board will speed up the process of improvement that has already been initiated. The good start we have made in the current year gives us reason for cautious optimism', stated Christoph Manegold, member of the Management Board of PULSION Medical Systems AG.
