Press Release

JENSEN-GROUP reports continued high activity during first quarter

Trading update 1st quarter 2011

Revenue during Q1 was 59,3 mio euro; 6,9 % higher as compared to the same period in 2010.

The order backlog at the end of March 2011 was 4,7% lower than at the end of March 2010.

Based on the above, JENSEN-GROUP expects a first half-year similar to prior year. According to previous years, the Group does not give full year guidance. We remain prudent as the economic uncertainty affecting the investment climate and our order intake as well as rapid changes in demand, high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material, energy and transport prices remain the most important risk factors for our business.
