Jena, March 25, 2010 - Analytik Jena AG (Frankfurt DE0005213508, Prime Standard:
AJA) expects sales of about EUR 80.0 m for the current financial year 2009/2010
and hence renewed double digit growth compared with the preceding record year
2008/2009. The Thuringian manufacturer of analytical instrumentation technology
announced this today at its tenth Ordinary Annual General Meeting in Jena.
Chairman of the Executive Board Klaus Berka also forecast an increase in
earnings at the shareholders' meeting. Here the company is expecting operating
earnings (EBIT) of between EUR 7.0 and 7.5 m (previous year: EUR 6.3 m) and
earnings per share of between EUR 0.70 and 0.85 (previous year: EUR 0.51). The
forecast predicts that the EUR/USD exchange rate will stabilize at its current
level or shift further in favor of the USD.
"If we succeed in achieving these results, the Analytik Jena AG Executive Board
will recommend to the Supervisory Board at the balance sheet meeting in December
2010 to propose a resolution to the 2011 Annual General Meeting for the first
dividend payment in the company's ten-year history as a listed entity," says
Klaus Berka.
With regard to the first half of the year currently underway and ending on March
31, 2010, the Group is confirming its forecast of slightly lower year-on-year
earnings and a sales increase to some EUR 40.0 m (previous year: EUR 35.5 m).
"Based on an ongoing stable level of incoming orders in Analytical
Instrumentation and growth in Life Science, we expect to be able to offset the
slight fall in business in Optics. We anticipate around the same sales level in
the second half of the year as in the first half," continues Berka.
In the first quarter of the 2009/2010 financial year ending on December
31, 2009, Analytik Jena AG achieved consolidated net sales of EUR 21.6 m, up
25.7% year-on-year.
