Raising of forecast
Basler AG raises forecast for fiscal year 2014
- New sales forecast: Euro 77 - 79 million
- New profit forecast: EBT-margin 13 - 14 %
Ahrensburg, October 14, 2014 - BASLER AG, one of the leading global
manufacturers of industrial cameras, is raising again the forecast for
fiscal year 2014 after the results for September 2014 were approved in
today's meeting of the management board.
Due to unexpected positive incoming orders - particularly from the Asian
market - the business performance is better than planned. Therefore, the
management board of Basler AG is increasing today the sales forecast for
fiscal year 2014 from Euro 73 - 76 million to Euro 77 - 79 million.
Furthermore, positive margin effects due to a favorable product mix as well
as economies of scale regarding fixed costs lead to an above plan pre-tax
result. This prompts the management board to also narrow down the profit
forecast for fiscal year 2014. The company henceforth expects a pre-tax
return margin of 13 - 14 % (formerly 12 - 14 %).
Basler is a leading developer and manufacturer of high grade digital
cameras for applications in industry, video surveillance, medicine, and
