First Sensor presents figures for first nine months of 2013 - good third
quarter confirms forecast for year as a whole
Berlin, November 8, 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 nine
month of fiscal year 2013 today.
In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, First Sensor AG generated
consolidated EBITDA of EUR3.9 million, despite a slight decline in sales,
and therefore the best quarterly result in the history of the company to
date. Q3 EBITDA was up 36% on Q2 2013 EBITDA and 19% on the same quarter of
the previous year.
In the first nine months of 2013, First Sensor AG substituted low-margin
trading business with higher-margin sales from its own products in line
with planning. Thus, EBITDA was virtually constant on the previous year at
EUR 10.1 million despite a slight drop in sales (9M 2012: EUR10.2 million).
At the same time, other operating expenses were reduced by EUR1.6 million.
Before extraordinary effects from integration costs in both years and a
positive non-recurring effect from the sale of Heimann Sensor GmbH in 2012,
EBITDA of EUR11.1 million (9M 2012: EUR10.5 million) was achieved in the
current fiscal year, an increase of more than 5% as against the previous
year.
The equity ratio has increased from 43% in Q3 2012 to now 48% in Q3 2013.
Earnings per First Sensor share amounted to EUR0.12 in the 2013 nine-month
period (9M 2012: EUR0.13). Adjusted for integration costs, PPA depreciation
and amortization in both years and the sale of Heimann Sensor GmbH in 2012,
earnings per share matched the previous year's level of EUR0.42.
The good third quarter allows the confirmation of the Executive Board's
revised planning for 2013 as a whole (see ad hoc disclosure of August 19,
2013).
The finalized figures and further information on business performance in
the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 will be published in the Group's
quarterly financial report on November 28, 2013.
