Ahrensburg, November 4, 2015 - BASLER AG, one of the leading global
manufacturers of industrial cameras, is releasing today the figures for the
first nine months of 2015 and confirming its growth plan.
In the first nine months of 2015, incoming orders of the group amounted to
EUR 62.0 million (previous year: EUR 61.0 million, +2 %). The group's sales
of EUR 66.3 million were 9 % above the previous year's value of EUR 60.7
million. The gross profit margin was at 48.6 % (previous year: 51.2 %) in
the first nine months of 2015. In comparison to the second quarter, the
gross profit margin increased by 1.2 percentage points to 48.9 %. The
management's efforts to stabilize the gross profit margin in the
medium-term on a level of approximately 50 % continuing to powerfully
pursue the volume strategy are proving effective. The group's earnings
before taxes (EBT) amounted to EUR 8.5 million (previous year: EUR 9.8
million) resulting in a pre-tax profit margin of 13 % (previous year: 16
%). The pre-tax profit margin is above the strategic goal of 10 %. However,
due to a seasonally weak fourth quarter, the company assumes the EBT-margin
to be within the planned corridor at the end of the year.
"Despite the turbulent economic environment we concluded the first nine
months of fiscal year 2015 in line with our planning. We were able to take
the scheduled steps for our planned growth. We are proud of the progress
which proves that Basler AG is determinedly moving towards the medium-term
sales goals of EUR 120 million", states Hardy Mehl, CFO.
The company continues assuming sales of the group for 2015 within a
corridor of EUR 81 - 84 million, at a pre-tax profit margin of 9 - 10 %.
