During the first three months of 2006, sales revenue of the Sartorius
Group rose 15.1% (currency-adjusted: +12.5%) to EUR128.6 million (Q1
of 2005: EUR111.8 mn). Sales revenue for the Biotechnology Division
climbed 15.8% (currency-adjusted: +13.2%) to EUR68.2 million (EUR58.9
mn). For the Mechatronics Division, sales revenue grew 14.3%
(currency-adjusted: +11.7%) to EUR60.4 million (EUR52.9 mn). Up 15.8%
(currency-adjusted: +12.8%) to EUR132.7 million (EUR114.6 mn), Group
order intake also showed positive development (currency-adjusted for
Biotechnology Division: +20.8%; currency-adjusted for Mechatronics
Division: +5.2%).
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) increased from EUR11.0 million to EUR16.4 million (+48.9%).
EBIT, earnings before interest and taxes, soared 80.2% to EUR11.7
million (EUR6.5 mn). The EBIT margin improved from 5.8% to 9.1%. EBIT
for the Biotechnology Division rose from EUR4.3 million to EUR7.3
million; that of the Mechatronics Division, from EUR2.2 million to
EUR4.4 million. At EUR6.3 million, net profit for the period also
substantially surpassed the year-earlier quarterly figure (EUR2.2
million); earnings per share were EUR0.37, up from EUR0.13 a year
ago.
At EUR3.1 million (EUR8.1 mn), net cash flow was positive and
primarily used to reduce net debt by EUR1.8 million to EUR58.9
million.
In comparison to the relatively moderate year-earlier quarter, sales
revenue growth was above-average. For the full year, we further
expect to increase sales revenue by more than 5% based on constant
currencies and to post earnings before interest and taxes of
approximately 10% of sales revenue.
