AUGUSTA publishes preliminary Q2 figures 2010: dynamic growth in revenue,
incoming orders and profitability
- Revenue 48 percent and incoming orders 59 percent up on previous year
- EBITDA at 5.1 million euros, increase of 58 percent over previous year

Munich, July 22, 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, AUGUSTA Technologie
AG (ISIN DE000A0D6612) significantly increased its revenue, incoming orders
and profitability, not only over the previous year but also as compared to
its very good Q1 2010 figures. Consolidated revenues rose to EUR 32.0
million, an increase of around 48 percent over those of the previous year
(EUR 21.7 million). Having doubled revenue to EUR 12.1 million (previous
year: EUR 8.2 million), camera business in the Vision segment made a key
contribution to the Group's dynamic growth. In the Sensors segment, AUGUSTA
also recorded a solid increase in revenue of around 29 percent to EUR 19.9
million (previous year: EUR 15.5 million).
At EUR 36.5 million, incoming orders in the second quarter experienced
above-average growth of 59 percent over the previous year (EUR 22.9
million). Here as well the Vision segment was the major driver of growth,
with the value of incoming orders increasing to EUR 14.1 million (plus 110
percent over the previous year). In the Sensors segment, incoming orders
were reported at EUR 22.3 million, around 39 percent above the previous
year's level (EUR 16.1 million). 'In our camera business in the Machine
Vision segment, we have again been able to increase market share and
further reinforce our position as one of the top two suppliers in the
global market', says Amnon Harman, CEO of AUGUSTA. 'Our acquisition in the
GigE camera sector in 2008 and a product offensive with new innovative
cameras in 2009 are now paying off even better than expected', Harman
continues.
Structural adjustments within the Group in 2009 are resulting in higher
profitability on the increased revenue generated. The Group's EBITDA rose
by 58 percent to EUR 5.1 million (previous year: EUR 3.2 million). This
equates to an EBITDA margin of 15.8 percent (previous year: 14.8 percent).
In the Vision segment, the Group was again able to increase its
profitability with an EBITDA margin of 32.8 percent as compared with that
of the previous year (28.5 percent). 'We are successfully focusing our
attention on the long-term growth markets in the field of sensor systems
and vision technology. The restructuring of AUGUSTA into a technology
company is running according to plan and is opening up further,
disproportionately high growth potential,' Harman comments on the company's
prospects.
The full report will be published on August 5, 2010.
