Bad Oeynhausen, 1 September 2015 - The Balda AG has submitted the
preliminary results for the business year 2014 / 2015. Accordingly, Balda
AG substantially exceeded its target sales figures and is thus beyond its
adjusted forecast again: Group sales revenues amounted to
85.4 million EUR following 70.5 million EUR in the same period during the
previous year, corresponding to a 21.1 % growth. This rise is attributable
to increased product sales (9.2 million EUR) and currency effects
(5.7 million EUR). The plant and tooling sales relevant for future growth
were at a similar level as the previous year, at 11 million EUR.
Before special items, the company generated earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the amount of about
6.4 million EUR (previous year: 4.0 million EUR) and generated an EBITDA
margin of about 7.7 % of the total performance. Taking into account
scheduled amortization and before special items, the operating result
(EBIT) was about 1.3 million EUR (previous year: -0.9 million EUR). |
