Ahrensburg, May 07, 2013, - BASLER AG, one of the leading global
manufacturers of industrial cameras, is presenting today final figures for
the first three months of 2013.
In the first quarter, the group's incoming orders amounted to Euro 17.6
million (previous year: Euro 13.8 million, +28 %). The group sales amounted
to Euro 15.1 million and was 23 % above the previous year's figure of Euro
12.3 million. Compared with the previous year, the gross profit margin
increased by 6 percentage points to 50.3 % (previous year: 43.9 %). In the
first three months of 2013, Basler AG achieved earnings before taxes (EBT)
for the group of Euro 1.8 million (previous year: Euro 1.0 million, +80 %).
The pre-tax return amounted to 12 % (previous year: 8 %).
Given these results, Basler AG got off to a good start in fiscal year 2013
and is currently ahead of previously budgeted plans.
'The transformation of Basler AG began in 2009 and was completed at the end
of 2012 towards a pure camera manufacturer; from now on the growth and
profitability of the Basler group will only be determined by its core
business with industrial cameras. The good results of the first quarter
confirm our planning according to which we will generate profitable growth
on group level in 2013 for the first time in several years', said Dietmar
Ley, chairman of the management board.
In view of the continuing uncertainties in the markets and the resulting
economic risks, for the time being the management board is maintaining its
sales and profit forecast for fiscal year 2013, despite the first quarter
results that were better than expected . The sales will accordingly be
within a corridor between Euro 60 million and Euro 63 million and the
pre-tax margin will be between 8 and 10 %.
