Oldenburg (ots Ad hoc-Service) -

The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this
announcement.
The CeWe Color Holding AG reports
good increases in sales for the first half-year 2000 and a half-
yearly result which is also on the increase. CeWe Color was able to
develop 41.0 million films with 25 laboratories in 14 European
countries in the first six months, that is 5.1 % more than in that
period of the previous year. The quantity of the colour pictures
produced and sold rose to 1,422 billion units, or by 5.7 %.
This corresponds to the growth of the consolidated sales yields:
they amounted to 183.0 million EURO, that is growth of 4.8 %. As in
the first quarter of the year 2000 the trade sales have developed
somewhat more strongly than the laboratory sales. The Executive Board
anticipates that the set sales objective of EURO 420 - 430 million
can be reached for the 2000 financial year. The company result before
corporation tax amounts to 5.2 million EURO and is thus in accordance
with the budget and above the previous year. It was possible to raise
the cash flow from 21.4 million EURO to 23.3 million EURO, i.e. plus
9.2 %.
The first half-year 2000 is marked by a regular departure in the
future of digital photography for CeWe Color. The group offers the
amateur photographer and professionals an exactly tailored solution
for "e-Photography", with the digital services and products already
successfully introduced into the market, no matter whether the
picture data are to be sent to a CeWe Color Lab by Internet, photo
terminals or photo order bag.
Corresponding to the expanding Internet the number of enquiries
for trade partners for the Online Print Service are increasing daily.
The end-users can find this service, with which they can send digital
picture data from their computers directly to a CeWe Color Lab and
receive perfect photos on original photo paper in all formats by
return within 48 hours, on the Internet pages of the CeWe clients.
CeWe Color is the partner of the trade and will increasingly expand
the B2B sector.
Hubert Rothärmel, Chairman of the Management Board of the CeWe
Color Group, stresses, that CeWe Color is the leader in the market
with the already offered range of digital services. Additional
digital services and products are in preparation. For this reason the
deployment in material and personnel means will be increased. The
volume of investment will amount to approx. 45 million EURO for the
2000 financial year.
