Sales and profitability ahead of expectations

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Komax Holding AG / Sales and profitability ahead of expectations processed and transmitted by Hugin AS. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

The Komax Group expects sales of around CHF 150 million and an EBIT margin of
around 8 percent in the first half of 2010 on the back of persistently strong
demand in the Wire segment.

Thanks to a persistently high level of new orders in the Wire segment, the Komax
Group will end the first half of 2010 with sales and profitability in excess of
financial market expectations. The Group anticipates sales of around CHF 150
million and an EBIT margin of around 8 percent in the first half of 2010.

Komax expects its Solar business to continue to perform well, primarily thanks
to the healthy flow of new orders for crystalline module manufacturing machines.
However, there is still no sign of the tide turning in the thin-film machines
segment, where the market remains dry, not least due the current cheapness of
silicon.

The Medtech segment is developing in line with expectations. Orders in hand and
order quality are at a good level.
