2005 financial information
Remscheid, 17.01.2006. The preliminary figures for 2005 (unaudited) suggest that Alexanderwerk AG will report a positive operating result once again. This result bears testimony of a successful restructuring package, and provides this company with the prospect it needs for the future.
The 2005 turnover of Alexanderwerk AG is 16.290 million Euro, which is equivalent to an increase in sales by eight percent (8%) as compared to the previous year. The targeted objective has thus been clearly outperformed.
As a result of successfully implemented restructuring efforts, we can now show a positive operating result and net income for the financial year once again.
Based on a 2006 stock portfolio in the amount of five million Euro for industrial machinery, we expect a turnover of about 12.5 million Euro. For food processing machines, which are distributed through the AlexanderSolia joint venture, the total expected sales are estimated at about eight million Euro.
