Garbsen, February 7, 2017 - LPKF Laser & Electronics AG closed the 2016 |
The positive trend remained unbroken in January 2017, with strong demand
for laser systems in all segments resulting in additional orders. The
outstanding pre-cision of LPKF's laser technology enables more efficient
digital production, especially as components become smaller and smaller.
CEO Dr. Ingo Bretthauer sees the strong growth in orders as a reason for
opti-mism. "We did our homework in 2016, significantly reducing our cost
base while also launching a number of highly attractive new products. The
current order situation is a positive indicator for our revenue and
earnings performance in 2017."
The Managing Board is forecasting revenue of EUR 92-100 million and an EBIT
margin of between 1% and 5% for the current financial year. In subsequent
years, the Group wants to further increase revenue. In the medium term, the
Managing board aims to return to EBIT-margins of at least 10%.
The 2016 annual financial statements will be published on 22 March 2017.
