"There are signals of individual market segments developing less dynamically. Due to our broad customer base, however, we still have a very substantial order book. We therefore confirm our outlook for FY 2015 with sales expected within a range of EUR 430 - 450 million and a noticeable increase in operating profit and of the EBIT margin compared to the prior year." Bender carries out further: "In the first nine months of 2015 we recorded an operating cash flow of EUR 37.1 million. Our liquid assets amounted to EUR 107.9 million at the end of the period and clearly surpassed the financial liabilities of EUR 30.7 million. We continue to maintain a net cash position on the balance sheet."
