The revenue growth is attributable to strong organic growth in the core CRANES segment in Europe, as well as to the favourable market environment and the high level of capacity utilization achieved in all production areas. The profitable European Cranes business was characterized in 2006 by the continuing trend towards high-performance product classes and fittings, the excellent market position in Western Europe, and above-average rates of growth in Eastern Europe. Revenue compared with the same period of the previous year grew by EUR 65.1m, or 12.5 percent, to EUR 585.2m. EBIT compared with the prior-year period rose EUR 11.9m, or 18.2 percent, to EUR 77.0m, equivalent to an EBIT margin of 13.2 percent. The same general macro-economic conditions that prevailed in 2006 are anticipated to continue in 2007. During 2007, we shall focus on securing our technological and innovative leadership on a sustainable basis, and on lowering supply times through capacity expansion. The above-mentioned figures are indications from a projected calculation based on IFRS. We shall publish the final results on February 28, 2007. end of announcement euro adhoc 24.01.2007 18:08:45 Further inquiry note: Hannes Roither, PALFINGER AG Permalink:
