The improved figures can be explained amongst others with favourable market
conditions in North America, an optimized cost level following first results of
the implementation of the "win" project and positive growth in many markets. We
therefore expect a significant increase in turnover and results for the entire
year.The interim report for the first quarter 2006 will be released on 4 May 2006.
