PRESS RELEASE
Pfeiffer Vacuum reports preliminary figures for FY 2013:
- Sales at EUR 408.7 million
- EBIT margin of 12.4 percent
- Incoming orders at EUR 398.0 million
Asslar, 21 February, 2014. Pfeiffer Vacuum announces first results for FY
2013. According to preliminary and unaudited numbers, FY 2013 sales
amounted to EUR 408.7 million, a decrease of 11.4 percent compared to the
previous year's figure of EUR 461.3 million. EBIT decreased to EUR 50.5
million (previous year: EUR 68.5 million). This resulted in an EBIT margin
of 12.4 percent for FY 2013.
Order intake for FY 2013 amounted to EUR 398.0 million (previous year: EUR
445.6 million). At 0.97 the book-to-bill ratio for FY 2013 remained at the
same level as in FY 2012. Q4/2013 was characterized by various customers'
order postponements which led to an order intake figure of EUR 88.5 million
(Q4/2012: EUR 97.4 million). As a result of this development, we reduced
our FY 2013 sales guidance on 21 January, 2014. Year-end FY 2013 order
backlog amounted to EUR 61.1 million (year-end FY 2012: EUR 71.8 million).
Manfred Bender, CEO of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG, comments: "The
ever-increasing pace in our business means that the translation of orders
to sales is taking place more and more rapidly - often within the same
quarter. For this reason the order figures' suitability as an indicator for
our future performance is limited. We intend to increase sales and improve
our EBIT margin in FY 2014. "
The complete audited results as well as the dividend proposal will be
announced on the day of the financial press conference which is scheduled
for March 20, 2014.
