LPKF reports jump in profits in first half year
Company performance
The Group enjoyed a 15 % rise in turnover year-on-year to EUR 22.5 
million in the first half, and improved earnings from EUR 0.5 million
the previous year to EUR 2.8 million. The EBIT margin after six 
months was 12 %. The earnings per share (EPS) rose from EUR 0.00 to 
EUR 0.15. The level of orders received at EUR 23.2 million almost 
matched last year´s high level of EUR 24.1 million.
After a good first quarter, the LPKF Group boosted turnover and 
earnings further in the second quarter. Compared to the same period 
the previous year, turnover in Q2 rose by 11 % to EUR 12.4 million, 
and EBIT climbed from EUR 0.8 million to EUR 1.6 million. Earnings 
were positively influenced by the rise in turnover as well as the 
changed product mix, and cost savings.
The company performance overall exceeded expectations in the first 
half. Growth was generated by the Cutting & Structuring Laser segment
- where there was particularly strong demand for structuring lasers 
for the production of MIDs. Turnover in the other segments was either
down or barely changed as a consequence of the current economic 
situation.
Outlook 2009
Even though there are the first signs of an end to the global 
economic crisis, it is still very difficult to make a reliable 
forecast for the fourth quarter 2009 in particular.
Given the good order situation in some segments, the Board of 
Managing Directors expects the LPKF Group to generate an annual 
turnover matching last year´s level, and a considerably improved 
level of earnings.
The half-year financial report will be published on 14 August 2009.
The shares in LPKF Laser & Electronics AG are quoted in the Prime 
Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
