Preliminary figures: Sales growth exceeds expectations, annual surplus in lower, single-digit million range, high cash flow
Nuremberg, March 5, 2007: In the 2006 business year, TA Triumph-Adler has exceeded its group sales growth targets and fully met the performance and earnings targets set for the financial year. According to preliminary figures, TA boosted consolidated sales revenues by more than 12 % from EUR 336.7 in the prior year to some EUR 378 million. The group profit from operations (earnings before interest and tax) rose from EUR 11.7 million to more than EUR 17 million. The net earnings were boosted by more than EUR 5.2 million. For the first time since five years TA Triumph-Adler has generated a consolidated net profit for the year of about EUR 2.2 million, before minority interests.
Profits ameliorated the equity ratio of the group slightly to 11.6%. In connection with a balance sheet total up by EUR 19 million to EUR 441 million, the preliminary group balance sheet as per December 31, 2006 shows a group stockholders equity of about EUR 51 million. The balance sheet extension is the result, among others, of the acquisition activities in the course of the business year and the increase in inventories and trade receivables as well as trade payables driven by accelerated sales growth. An additional key factor is the strong cash flow in the group, resulting in a marked rise in liquid funds from EUR 13.2 million to some EUR 27 million.
TA Triumph-Adler AG as parent company reports revenues from profit transfer agreements amounting to more than EUR 28 million as well as net earnings of more than EUR 3.5 million. Accumulated loss for the parent company, therefore, was reduced to slightly less than EUR 80 million.
TA Triumph-Adler will present the complete financial statements (parent company and consolidated group accounts) for the 2006 financial year on March 30, 2007, following the Supervisory Board approval of the year-end financial statements and the approval of the consolidated financial statements of the group.
