Bad Oeynhausen, April 16, 2015 – Following the preliminary analyses of the
figures, Balda AG is expecting slightly negative EBIT after the first nine
months of the 2014 / 2015 fiscal year. This is due to one-time special
effects substantially resulting from the already communicated disputes with
the former owners and managers of Balda’s US companies. Based on today’s
figures and the prognoses for the rest of the financial year, Balda AG will
presumably not fulfil its forecast of positive EBIT in the year-end
results. However, the sales development remains positive: In the first
three quarters of 2014 / 2015, Balda generated approx. 61.9 million Euros;
the company is now expecting slightly higher corporate sales revenues of
approx. 80 to 82 million Euros for the fiscal year instead of the 73 to 78
million Euros forecasted so far.
Balda AG will publish the final figures and the third quarterly report on
May 12, 2015; the report will be available on Balda’s website under
Investors.
