Wuppertal, 23 May 2006 - Based on the unaudited figures for financial
year 2005/2006 ended on 31 March 2006, Prime Standard-listed holding
company GESCO AG will exceed its forecast, which was last revised
upwards in December 2005.
At EUR 234 million, Group sales are around 22% up on the previous
year’s figure of EUR 192 million. The rise in Group net income for
the year was even more significant at around 50% to EUR 9.3 million
(previous year: EUR 6.2 million). Based on the total number of shares
of 2,749,000, this produces earnings per share of EUR 3.39 (previous
year: EUR 2.49 with a total of 2,500,000 shares). These are the best
sales and earnings figures recorded in the company’s history.
On the basis of the preliminary figures, the Executive Board assumes
a proposed dividend of EUR 1.25 EUR per share, which represents an
increase of around 40% compared with the previous year (EUR 0.90). As
a result, the pay-out ratio is also at a record high.
The financial statements for the 2005/2006 financial year and the
forecast for financial year 2006/2007 will be presented at the
accounts press conference on 29 June 2006.
