This document is a quarterly statement in accordance with Section 51a Rules and Regulations for the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Börsenordnung für die Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse). For mathematical reasons, tables and references may contain rounding differences to the exact figures (currency units, percentages, etc.).
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and estimates made by the Elmos management. Even though we assume the underlying expectations of our statements to be realistic, we cannot guarantee these expectations will prove right. The assumptions may carry risks and uncertainties, and as a result actual events may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause such differences are changes in general economic and business conditions, fluctuations of exchange rates and interest rates, the introduction of competing products, lack of acceptance of new products, and changes in business strategy. Elmos neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update its statements with respect to future events.
