Ahrensburg, August 08, 2013 - BASLER AG, one of the leading global
manufacturers of industrial cameras is presenting today the final figures
for the first half-year of 2013.
The group's incoming orders increased by 16 % to EUR 33.3 million (previous
year: EUR 28.7 million). The group's sales of EUR 32.2 million were 28 %
above the previous year's value of EUR 25.2 million. The gross margin
improved by almost 6 percentage points to 50.6 % (previous year: 44.8 %).

(previous year: EUR 2.2 million). The pre-tax return amounted to 12 %
(previous year: 9 %).
'The robust incoming orders, the smooth introduction into the market of
important new products, and the progress made in sales in markets of great
significance to us, give us the confidence to assume that we will succeed
in exceeding the previous forecast for 2013, despite an unchanged moderate
economic environment', explains Dietmar Ley (CEO).
Based on the good half-year results, Basler AG increased the forecast for
sales and profit for fiscal year 2013 already in mid-July and henceforth
expects group's sales of EUR 63 to 65 million (previously EUR 60 to 63
million) at a pre-tax margin of 10 to 11 % (previously 8 to 10 %).
