Munich, March 6, 2013. AUGUSTA Technologie AG (ISIN DE000A0D6612) has completed an extremely successful, record-breaking fiscal year 2012. Both segments (VISION and Other divisions) have grown. "We exceeded our operational targets in 2012 despite facing challenges in the economy and the public takeover bid of TKH. Over the fiscal year, we steadily improved our global market position by investing heavily in development, service and sales, but still managed to achieve an above-average increase in our operating profit relative to revenues," explained Berth Hausmann, Chairman of AUGUSTA Technologie AG. Consolidated revenues in 2012 rose to EUR 109.6 million, an increase of 8.2 percent over those of the previous year (EUR 101.3 million). Revenues were at the top end of the forecast range of EUR 100 to 110 million. EBITDA went up 17.2 percent compared to the previous year (EUR 17.9 million) to EUR 21.0 million, exceeding the announced forecast range of EUR 16 million to EUR 20 million. The EBITDA margin rose to an outstanding 19.2 percent (previous year: 17.7 percent).
At EUR 115.6 million, incoming orders at the end of 2012 were significantly up on the prior year (EUR 107.3 million). "In the fourth quarter of 2012 our incoming orders grew again. Our book-to-bill ratio is well above 1, which gives us confidence for 2013," said Hausmann. Orders on hand increased compared to the previous year (EUR
39.3 million) to EUR 43.4 million at the end of 2012.
Following its successful public takeover bid at the end of December 2012, TKH Group N.V. now holds around 62 percent of the AUGUSTA Technologie AG voting rights. "The change in AUGUSTA's ownership structure was a major event last year. However, AUGUSTA still reached its operational targets." The consolidated figures of the AUGUSTA Group have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the TKH Group N.V. since July
1, 2012.
The 2012 annual report and guidance for 2013 will be published on March 21, 2013.
