First Sensor AG: Provisional figures for the first half of 2013
Berlin, 08/12/2013 - First Sensor AG, a leading provider of high-quality,
customer-specific sensor solutions that is listed in the Prime Standard, is
presenting its provisional figures for the first half of financial year
2013 today.
Consolidated sales were down 5% year-on-year at EUR53.4 million in the
first half of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR56.2 million). However, sales in Q2 2013
posted an encouraging increase of 5% as against Q1 2013.
Consolidated EBITDA generated in the first six months amounted to EUR6.2
million (H1 2012: EUR6.9 million). Adjusted for extraordinary effects in
relation to integration costs in both years and a positive non-recurring
effect from the sales of Heimann Sensor GmbH in 2012, EBITDA totaled EUR6.7
million (H1 2012: EUR6.8 million).
The First Sensor share posted earnings per share of EUR0.05 in the first
half of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR0.08). Adjusted for integration costs and PPA
amortization in both years and the sale of Heimann Sensor GmbH in 2012,
earnings per share amounted to EUR0.24, as in the same period of the
previous year.
These provisional figures for the first half of 2013 reflect the fact that
customers have postponed calls-up to subsequent quarters as a result of the
observable general economic deterioration, as well as reflecting the
delayed substitution of low-margin distribution with the company's own
products in a sub-area.
The final figures and further information on the business performance in
the first half of financial year 2013 will be published in the consolidated
half-year financial report on August 29, 2013.
