Jena, February 1, 2011 - Analytik Jena AG (Frankfurt DE0005213508, Prime
Standard: AJA) reported sales of EUR 23.7 m in the first quarter of the current
financial year 2010/2011 (previous year: EUR 21.6 m). This corresponds to sales
growth of 10.1 %, meaning that, as in previous years, the Group again achieved
record sales. Earnings were also up on the previous year, with the consolidated
operating result (EBIT) amounting to EUR 2.2 m in the first three months
(previous year: EUR 1.9 m), a year-on-year increase of 15.7 %. Earnings per
share amounted to EUR 0.22 (previous year: EUR 0.21).
The manufacturer of analytical, bioanalytical and optical systems and molecular
diagnostic reagents reported particularly strong sales and order development in
its largest division, Analytical Instrumentation, which generated sales of
EUR 14.5 m in the first three months of the current financial year - up 17.2 %
on the same period of the previous year. The Optics division, whose business had
suffered from the global economic crisis in the past two financial years, also
returned to sales growth with a figure of EUR 1.2 m, a year-on-year improvement
of 15.1 %. Sales in the growth segment of Life Science remained constant in the
first quarter at EUR 8.0 m (previous year: EUR 8.1 m).
"Analytik Jena has enjoyed an extremely positive first quarter, returning to the
stable business development it has seen over the past six years following the
non-recurring effects that impacted results in the second half of the 2009/2010
financial year," commented Klaus Berka, CEO of Analytik Jena AG. "This excellent
start to the financial year is important and will provide a solid basis for
significant sales and earnings growth across all three divisions in the
2010/2011 financial year as a whole."
The full report on the first three months of the 2010/2011 financial year (for
the period ended December 31, 2010) will be published on February 10, 2011.
