economic conditions in the strategic target industries, the company sees a
promising year for 2015. "Since the beginning of the year, we have received
orders with a total volume of more than EUR 75 million. These orders for
the most part will begin impacting revenues and earnings from the second
quarter onwards. Accordingly we are expecting significant growth beginning
with the second quarter of 2015 following a rather sound first quarter,"
comments Dieter Manz. At the same time, the special depreciations taken in
the previous fiscal year have a positive effect on the operating result in
the current 2015 fiscal year. The company accordingly is anticipating an
increase in revenues and earnings again in the current year. Specifically,
Manz is expecting revenues between EUR 320 million and EUR 340 million for
the current 2015 fiscal year with clearly positive EBIT.
