MEDION AG: Ad-hoc announcement in accordance with § 15 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) Preliminary figures for Q1 2008
MEDION AG: Q1 2008 earnings significantly surpass previous year
According to preliminary unaudited figures, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of Medion AG for the 1st quarter of 2008 will improve to approx. EUR 6.7 million from the prior-year total of EUR 4.6 million. Due to a positive financial result of EUR 0.5 million in 2008 after a negative financial result of EUR -0.1 million in 2007, earnings before taxes will rise even stronger than EBIT from EUR 4.5 million in 2007 to approx. EUR 7.2 million in Q1 2008. As a consequence, MEDION's earnings per share will increase to approx. EUR 0.11 in Q1 2008, up from EUR 0.06 in Q1 2007. Sales in Q1 2008 will rise to EUR 420 million from EUR 406 million in the previous year. The more attractive product portfolio played a decisive role in the significant improvement in earnings.
The complete report for Q1 2008 will be published on May 14, 2008 as announced.
