The technotrans Group maintained the recent trend in generating slightly
more revenue in the third quarter of the financial year than in the two
preceding quarters. Revenue rose by 20.1 percent to EUR 25.8 million
(prior-year quarter EUR 21.4 million). After nine months, revenue therefore
reached EUR 74.1 million, a gain of 19.0 percent. The acquisition of
Termotek AG once more accounted for slightly more than half of growth, but
core business in the printing industry and services also progressed well.
Despite adverse exchange rate movements the operating result (EBIT) reached
EUR 1.9 million for Q3 2011 (prior-year quarter EUR 0.9 million), an
increase of 112.3 percent. This represents an EBIT margin of 7.5 percent as
against 4.2 percent in the prior-year quarter and 6.0 percent in the
preceding quarter. EBIT at the nine-month mark amounted to EUR 4.6 million
(previous year EUR 2.5 million, including benefits from short-time, +87.4
percent).

The effective tax rate remained virtually unchanged at 40.8 percent for the
three quarters because the profit contributions of certain international
subsidiaries were low. Net income for the first nine months reached EUR 2.4
million (previous year EUR 1.5 million, +60.9 percent). This corresponds to
earnings per share of EUR 0.37 (previous year EUR 0.23) for shares
outstanding.
