During the first nine months of fiscal 2006, sales revenue of the
Sartorius Group rose 9.2% (currency-adjusted: +9.0%) to EUR386.0
million (previous year: EUR353.5 mn). In the Biotechnology Division,
sales revenue climbed 10.1% (currency-adjusted: +9.9%) to EUR203.7
million (previous year: EUR185.0 mn); in the Mechatronics Division,
8.2% (currency-adjusted: +8.1%) to EUR182.3 million (previous year:
EUR168.5 mn). Primarily because of the positive development in the
Mechatronics Division, Group order intake grew 3.9%
(currency-adjusted: +3.7%) to EUR379.4 million (previous year:
EUR365.3 mn).
Group earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) increased 18.1% to EUR49.3 million (previous year: EUR41.7
mn). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) surged 26.4% to
EUR35.0 million (EUR27.7 mn); as a result, the EBIT margin improved
from 7.8% to 9.1%. For the Biotechnology Division, EBIT soared 42.2%
from EUR16.2 million to EUR23.1 million, whereas for the Mechatronics
Division, EBIT at EUR11.9 million was slightly higher than the
year-earlier figure (EUR11.4 mn) and already included nearly all the
full-year 2006 costs budgeted for the expansion of Sartorius
locations in China, India and Germany. Net profit shot up 39.4% to
EUR18.9 million (EUR13.5 mn); accordingly, earnings per share were
EUR1.11 (EUR0.79). In comparison to the previous year, capital
expenditures roughly doubled to EUR20.4 million (EUR10.0 mn). Net
cash flow at EUR10.6 million (EUR15.8 mn) was significantly positive.
The company confirms its targets of increasing full-year sales
revenue by approximately 7% in constant currencies and of achieving
an EBIT of about 10% of sales revenue, as concretized after the first
half. In fiscal 2007, the company intends to continue its growth
trend and increase the profitability of the Sartorius Group to an
EBIT of 11% of sales revenue.
