The consolidated turnover of Hydratec Industries NV over first half 2012 increased to € 59.1 mio. The inclusion of the turnover of the in September last year acquired Agri & Food Equipment added € 27.9 mio. to overall turnover.

Roland Zoomers (CEO): "Because the acquired companies now fully contributed, our overall turnover and results are higher than the same period last year. But all companies are facing weakening demands from the effects of the crises in the various markets. Fortunately we see that the turnovers are relatively stable since beginning of this year. Margins at our Plastic companies are lower from the continued price increases of raw materials. Danielson benefits from its market position in Germany. Turnover at Pas Reform is lower, causing a drop in EBIT. But the activities and order intake at LAN handling systems are at a high level..

The EBIT increased to € 3.3 mio. (from € 2.6 mio over 2011) amounting to 5.6% of turnover (8.0 % last year) .

Net Earnings for shareholders increased by 29% to € 2.0 mio. (vs. € 1.6 mio over same period 2011).

Expectations for 2012

Because the newly acquires activities will fully contribute this year, turnover and net results of Hydratec NV for full 2012 will have to increase as compared to last year. At all companies the orderbooks are still at a relatively good level, given the economic circumstances. We expect stable turnover levels as long as the overall economic situation does not worsen. All companies will positively contribute to overall earnings.
