Agta Record : First half-year sales 2013 - Subdued sales growth

Half-year sales (January - June)

The market environment remains challenging in Europe, but is improving in the U.S.

Sales of products declined by 2.2% in the first half-year whereas sales of maintenance and service grew by 9.0%. This resulted in total sales growth of 2.4% despite a slightly negative impact from the weakening of the Swiss Franc.

Compared to 12 months ago, the order book is of a similar size after it grew by 18.7% during the first-half of 2013.

The growth of the operating result of the first six-months is expected to be higher than sales growth.

Next media release: Half-year results, on 5 September 2013 (after trading).
