On revenues of EUR 74.3 m (up 15 % on the comparable figure of EUR
64.6 m for 1-3/2002), the Group posted EBT of EUR 4.2 m (1-3/2002:
EUR 4.5 m). The higher revenues are largely attributable to
stepped-up deliveries of export orders from Austria and Spain. The
biggest contributors to the result in the 1st quarter of 2003 were
the Group's companies in Austria, the USA and Spain.
Outlook
Positive forecast for 2003. In view of the very healthy state of
order books and the resultant high level of capacity utilisation at
the Group's main production facilities, Management expects year-2003
revenues to climb to over EUR 300 m (2002: EUR 286.5 m), with a
result that is comparable to the good result achieved in 2002.
