Quarterly Report
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
We were able to achieve a favorable business development in the third quarter of 2007. The turnover (+ 20.4 %) as well as the result of operations (+ 23.4 %) were clearly higher than in the comparable period of last year. However, the very high result from the financial division – as in the last year – could not be repeated again in the current quarter. Despite the clearly better development of operations in the third quarter of 2007, there was only a result per share of 4 cents (p.y.: 16 cents) because of the lower financial results during the period in question.

A clearly higher turnover of + 6.7 % could be achieved during the first nine months. There were strong turnover impulses from the Asian markets and the South American region. The turnover of kEUR 6,278 during the first nine months was achieved – as in the previous year – with an export share of 80 %. The domestic market grew with a plus of 6.3 % and was thus clearly above the growth rates of the previous years. The turnover of Geratherm Medical was generated mainly by the foreign business.
The turnover split across the respective regions has not changed much. Despite a dropping dollar, we were able to achieve a turnover plus of 4.0 % in the US market, as compared to the previous year's period. The turnover in the other European countries remained stable with a plus of 1.4 %. Within the group of Other Countries, the highest growth rates were to be found in Asia, displaying a plus of 47.8 % and South America a plus of 47.0 %. The subsidiary Geratherm do Brasil is on a course of growth – as in the previous year.
Turnover by regions 01.01.- 30.09.2007
Digital Diagnostic Products proved to be the mainstay of turnover with a share of 43.6 % and a turnover of kEUR 2,738. This segment grew above average with a plus of 11.3 % also in the year 2007. The second largest product segment is constituted by the Analogue Diagnostic
Products with a share of 39.3 %. This segment saw a slight turnover decrease of 1.4 %.
The turnover share of the segment Other Products increased above average by 16.6 %. The growth in turnover is due especially to the new product area of Warming Systems, which recorded a turnover of kEUR 395 (+66.0 %). The turnover of the cardio segment, with its apoplex medical technologies GmbH subsidiary, recorded invoice sales in the amount of kEUR 27 for the first time. The company is planning to increase the turnover significantly over the months to come. The Geratherm Group turnover stood at kEUR 6,278 for the first nine months of the current business year.
The earnings situation from the main business has improved considerably – as compared to the previous year. The high start-up losses of the new business divisions, however, reflect this improvement only insufficiently. Despite the burden posed by the consolidation of the losses of apoplex (kEUR -181) and Respiratory (kEUR -21), there was a clear increase in the earnings quality. The cost-cutting program at the end of the year as well as the higher turnover have had a positive impact. As we are purchasing approximately 46 % of our goods on a dollar basis meanwhile, high operative profits could be achieved on the basis of the currency stituation.
Gross earnings of the first nine months increased by 10.7 % to reach kEUR 3,724. The gross margin amounted to 59.3 %. The gross result (EBITDA) stood at kEUR 623 (previous year: kEUR 596). The operating result (EBIT) in the amount of kEUR 399 for the first nine months of the business year 2007 displayed a growth of 15.8 % and was thus considerably over the result achieved over the same period last year.
As per 30 September 2007, we were able to achieve a positive financial result in the amount of kEUR 201 (previous year: 753 kEUR). The interest yield amounted to kEUR 80 (previous year: kEUR 73). Much fewer securities were sold by the balancing day, so that the financial results were considerably lower than in the previous year's period. In total, a result from ordinary business activity in the amount of kEUR 600 was generated from the operating result and the financial result. Due to lacking financial results, this was 45.3 % lower than that of the comparative period during the last year. The Group's after tax result (EAT) amounted to kEUR 626 during the first nine months of 2007 (previous year: kEUR 1,068), which corresponds with a decline of 41.4 %. The earnings per share were 14 cents for the first nine months of the business year (previous year 24 cents).
The Geratherm Medical company features a sound asset situation. The balance sum of EUR 17.8 million was constituted mainly by equity capital. The equity capital ratio amounted to 89.8 % and was, thus, slightly lower than during the comparable period of last year.
As per 30 September 2007, the company held cash and securities in the amount of EUR 7.5 million (previous year: EUR 8.2 million). The return on equity amounted to 5.2 % over the first nine months (previous year: 8.4 %).
As regards the assets, the greatest changes were recorded in the short-term assets, receivables and cash. Due to the strong increase in turnover, greater stocks were needed, so that the item of finished products and goods increased considerably by 24.5 % to reach kEUR 3,202. There was a clear decrease in the receivables from deliveries and services, which were reduced by 21.9 % to reach kEUR 1,848, due to the inflow of larger receivables.
By shifting cash into securities, the item of cash was reduced significantly in favor of securities. By 30 September 2007, the stock of securities amounted to kEUR 6,441 (previous year: kEUR 3,787).
The cashflow from the operating activity increased significantly over the previous year to reach kEUR 908 (previous year: kEUR -300) during the first nine months. The cashflow from investments amounted to kEUR -3,309 (previous year: kEUR -1,313), relating to the balancing date, which is due to new securities investments in the health care area. The cashflow from financing activity amounted to kEUR -1,643. This item reflects mainly the dividend payout in the amount of EUR 1.8 million for the business year 2006. The cash balance at the end of the reporting period stood at kEUR 1,085 (previous year: 2,912 kEUR).
The research and development activities mainly concentrated on new product developments in the new Geratherm business areas of Temperature Management, Cardio and Respiratory during the first nine months of 2007. In the area of Temperature Management, we are currently focussing on the development of a new generation of warming systems, which we will introduce internationally as of the middle of next year. In the Cardio area, we are continuing our efforts to broaden the group of users for the stroke monitor. At the German Prevention Congress in Dresden, on 24 October 2007, our subsidiary apoplex was awarded the Innovation Prize 2007 of the Kaufmännische Krankenkasse (KKH) sick fund for the development of the early stroke warning system, the so-called SRA method. In future, the KKH sick fund will support the introduction of the method. The new products in the Respiratory area are currently undergoing the licensing process. Market launch is planned for the beginning of 2008.
On 30 September 2007, the Geratherm Group employed a total of 78 staff members (31 December 2006: 74 staff members). 93.6 % of the staff members are employed in Germany.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, we expect a positive course of business. The turnover growth of Geratherm should continue also in the fourth quarter; with a clear increase in the operating earning quality. The order from the US military for warming systems has not been placed yet but should not impair the development planned so far up to the end of the year.
There are significant risks for Geratherm through changing framework conditions, such as exchange rates, raw material prices and the capital market development.
The European Parliament adopted the Directive on the "Restriction of certain mercury containing measuring devices" on 10 June 2007. The member states will apply the Guideline "Law on the Ban of Mercury" as of 3 April 2009, at the latest. As of this point in time, only mercury-free products may be put into circulation. The new legal situation should have a positive impact on the Geratherm Medical course of business as of 2009.

The balancing and evaluation methods for assets, financial assets as well as liabilities, stocks, receivables from deliveries and services, provisions and registration of the turnover revenue were applied uniformly and according to the presentation in the Group Financial Statement 2006.
The tax accrual and deferral was established in line with the presentation in the Group Financial Statement 2006. The tax amendments to the trade and corporate tax laws were included in establishing the active tax accrual and deferral, resulting from a future tax relief through the losses brought forward by the Geratherm AG. Especially through the marketing of newly developed products, taxable profits are to be expected in the following years, through which the losses brought forward maybe used up. The active tax accrual and deferral is balanced to such an extent as it is probable that the result to be taxed in the future may be offset against the tax losses not utilized to date.
As per 30 September 2007, development cost was activated for self-developed intangible assets in the amount of kEUR 198 (previous year: kEUR 76). kEUR 85 (previous year: kEUR 76) of this sum relates to the development of the new Stroke Risk Analyser SRA IV for the prevention of strokes; kEUR 79 (previous year: kEUR 0) to the development of the new generation of warming systems and kEUR 34 (previous year: kEUR 0) to the development of a spirometer.
Further additions to the long-term assets in the amount of kEUR 110 (previous year: kEUR 129) mainly relate to substitute investments in production plant as well as other furniture and fixtures.
The short-term assets display greater changes mainly in the items of securities and cash. As per 30 September 2007, the stock of securities increased by kEUR 4,508 (previous year: kEUR 4,952) through purchases. Securities were sold in the amount of kEUR 1,507 (previous year: kEUR 3,844).Thus, a profit in the amount of kEUR 129 (previous year: kEUR 657) and a loss of kEUR 4 (previous year: loss of kEUR 35) were realized. The purchasing cost as per 30 September 2007 in the amount of kEUR 6,834 (previous year: kEUR 4,797) is matched by a stock of securities evaluated as by the prices of 30 September 2007 in the amount of kEUR 6,441 (previous year: kEUR 5,258).
This results in non-realized profits and losses in the amount of kEUR -393 (previous year: kEUR 461), relating to the balancing day. These are included in the item of market evaluation provisions in equity capital.
The change in the available cash was altogether kEUR -4,044 (previous year: kEUR -3,053) as per 30 September 2007. This is mainly due to the payment of the dividends on 12 June 2007 in the amount of kEUR 1,800 (previous year: kEUR 1,440) and the investment in the form of securities.
