EBIT totalled EUR 1.4 million (FY 2004: EUR 1.5 million). This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 3.5% (FY 2004: 3.8%). Consolidated net profit for the year stood at EUR 0.8 million (FY 2004: EUR 0.8 million) and was thus well above par, as was the case in FY 2004. Based on this performance, the EPS for 2005 was EUR 0.19 (FY 2004: EUR 0.20). While start-up costs attributable to the newly founded UK-based subsidiary United Labels Ltd. reduced the Group’s consolidated earnings by EUR 0.5 million, the Italian subsidiary United Labels Italia Srl., which was also newly established, achieved a balanced bottom-line result. As at December 31, 2005, the order backlog had increased by 3.3% to EUR 12.5 million (FY 2004: EUR 12.1 million). The revenue target for the full 2006 financial year stands at approx. EUR 42 million, while EBIT is expected to be approx. EUR 1.9 million.
