Adval Tech achieves EBIT turnaround

Adval Tech achieves EBIT turnaround
Niederwangen, February 17, 2014, 7 a.m. – The Adval Tech Group achieved the targeted EBIT turnaround in 2013. It expects to post EBIT of between CHF 6-7 million. By contrast, the net result will be clearly negative. This is due to the effects of the deconsolidation of companies that have been sold, which do not affect liquidity. For the 2013 financial year, the Adval Tech Group expects to post EBIT of between CHF 6-7 million. It has thus achieved the targeted turnaround. The fact that the Group’s net result will be clearly negative is due primarily to the deconsolidation of companies sold during the year as a result of the focusing strategy. The deconsolidation effects are a result of the recycling of goodwill and currency effects. The deconsolidation is having a positive impact on the Adval Tech Group’s equity ratio, but is not affecting cash flow. Adval Tech will announce the definitive figures for 2013 at the end of March 2014. The annual media conference and publication of the annual report are scheduled for April 29, 2014. As at the closing date of February 14, 2014, the Adval Tech Group had successfully transferred all shares in Omni Plastics (Xiamen) Co. Ltd. to Xiamen Voke Mold & Plastic Engineering Co., Ltd.
