LPKF raises forecast for 2009
Company performance
The LPKF Group has increased its earnings before interest and taxes 
(EBIT) to EUR 5.0 million (previous year: EUR 1.9 million) in the 
first  nine  months  of 2009. Consolidated turnover rose around 10 % 
to EUR 34.7 million (previous year: EUR  31.6 million). Incoming 
orders at EUR 44.1 million was much higher  than the  previous year´s
level of EUR 32.6 million,  and  orders  in  hand  rose  to  
EUR 19.8 million (previous year: EUR 8.0 million).
Following on from a good first  half,  the  LPKF  Group  boosted  
earnings  even further in the third quarter. Compared to the same  
period  the  previous  year, turnover in the third quarter rose by 
2 % to EUR 12.2 million, and EBIT rose from EUR 1.4 million to EUR 
2.2 million. Performance was  positively  influenced  by  the changed
product mix and cost savings.
Business overall in the first nine months was better than forecast. 
Growth  came from the Cutting & Structuring Lasers segment, where the
structuring lasers  for the production of molded interconnect devices
(MIDs)  using  the  patented  LPKF LDS method were particularly in 
demand. Turnovers in other segments were  either down  or  unchanged 
because  of  the  current  economic  situation.  The  Rapid 
Prototyping and Joining Technologies  segments  though  enjoyed  an  
upswing  in incoming orders again in the third quarter.
Outlook for 2009 and 2010
In the light of the extraordinarily good development in business  in 
the  first nine months, the Board of Managing Directors  has  raised 
the  target  for  the whole of 2009, and now expects an annual 
turnover of  at  least  EUR  47 million, with a double-figure EBIT 
margin.
For the year 2010 the Board of Managing Directors expects turnover to
grow by  a double figure percentage, and again expects to  generate  
a  double-figure  EBIT margin. However, forecasting the development 
in 2010 is subject to  the  further development of the economy.
The LPKF Group Q3 report will be published on 10 November 2009.
LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted  in  the  Prime  
Standard  of  the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
