Vienna, 03 February 2010 - A-TEC Industries AG (ISIN AT00000ATEC9) announced today that it is again increasing its earnings guidance. The company had already upgraded its 2009 operating EBIT margin (EBIT as a percentage of revenue) forecast to 3.5% at its Capital Market Day investors´ event in September 2009. Management now expects the EBIT margin to top the 4% mark.
The improvement reflects a strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2009 in the face of continued adverse trading conditions. This showed the A-TEC Industries Group´s diversified structure, with four business divisions, to be a stabilising factor at times of global economic turbulence.
