24.03.2014 / 15:12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Transition year 2013 successfully concluded - Proposed dividend
disbursement unchanged at 0.60 euros
- Revenue increased by 4.6% to 146.7 million euros
- Order backlog rose by 10% to 89.6 million euros, a new record
- EBIT at 5.7 million euros, and below the previous year mark as
anticipated, due to investments supporting future growth in the coming
years
DATA MODUL AG, the display technology market leader, looks back on a
successful fiscal year 2013. We kept a strong focus on our priorities and
reorganized our global sales network, consolidated our product portfolio
even further and optimized our operating processes. We also reorganized and
centralized our logistics and manufacturing facilities in our Weikersheim
location. We grew our presence in foreign markets substantially in fiscal
year 2013, increasing our export rate to 39.8% (previous year: 33.5%), thus
achieving one of our most important goals: to reduce our dependency on
domestic sales. Total revenue increased by 4.6% to 146.7 million euros
(previous year: 140.2 million euros), with the Systems segment
participating at 2.6% and the Displays segment at 6.3%. Order entry
increased by 3.3% to 159.0 million euros. Order backlog reached a record
mark again, totaling 89.6 million euros.
In 2013, our research and development expenses increased to over 4.8
million euros, and included in particular projects safeguarding our future.
Thus we incurred restructuring costs recorded as a substantial one-time
factor for 2013 resulting from centralization and relocation of our
manufacturing and logistics facilities from Munich to our Weikersheim
location. At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on 12 May, 2014 we will
propose disbursement of cash dividends of 0.60 euros per share, the same
amount as last year.
