Outlook
CENIT still adheres to its most recent annual forecast, against the
backdrop of the continuing difficult economic conditions, and expects an
increase in sales of around 3% and a stable EBIT. The PLM reporting segment
is highly dependent on developments in the automotive, aerospace and
mechanical engineering industries. Due to the ongoing financial and debt
crisis, the EIM segment still faces a difficult market environment in the
second half of the year.
