Ich habe nur diesen Artikel gefunden.

Paris, September 23 2005. Cible Group, the French company who bought up the Solex brand from Magneti Marelli, and Pininfarina are pleased to present in world debut the new “e-Solex”, a re-elaboration of the Solex 3800 in a modern and environmentally-friendly key.

Pininfarina, even keeping the silhouette of the legendary moped, has realized a new version characterized by an actual, fresh and amusing look. Our company, showing its ability to work as a 360° supplier for all the transportation means – not only automotive – offered its know how to create the product image, the design and the prototyping.
The interventions concerned especially the brakes (now disc brakes), the engine (electric) and the comfort (front suspensions).
The ”e-Solex” can reach the speed of 35 Km/h, the weight is less than 35 kg and it will have around 30 km of functioning autonomy. An additional battery, to increase – if necessary – the coverable distance, will be supplied as optional.
Its innovative propulsion (electric engine), will allow to travel in total safety and complete respect of environment, both from the acoustic and atmospheric point of view.

The prototype ”e-Solex”, realized by Pininfarina, will be shown at the “International two wheel show” in Paris (October 1 – 9 ).

Das Gerät sieht ja heiß aus

Hallo,

die Aktie ist nicht 20% gestiegen, derzeit Mailand +5% auf 29,61. In Frankfurt werden +20% gezeigt, stimmt schon, liegt aber daran, das der Makler heute morgen 24,4 eröffnet hat (ohne Umsatz).

Bin vor der IAA rein, mach ich immer vor den großen Messen, hat mir immer ein paar Euro eingebracht, IAA immer am geilsten mit PINF

Hallo Melmaq
Danke für Deine Erklärung

Ich war erstaunt, da Pininfarina schon Monate um die 23 rumkrebst

Eine Meldung kam noch nach:

23/9/2005
Sergio Pininfarina appointed Life Senator by Ciampi
Turin, September 23, 2005. “I have just received a phone call from the President of the Republic Ciampi who has informed me about this decision. I am very moved. It is the most desired recognition in which I could have hoped. I am full of pride to see recognized more than 50 years of work”.

This is how Sergio Pininfarina comments the nomination as Life Senator by the President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi “for honoring the Country for high merits in the social field”.

The decrees have been countersigned by the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. President Ciampi has also informed the Senate President, Marcello Pera, about the assigned recognitions.

Die wird bestimmt auch keine Kurse bewegen

Quarterly Report Press Release

Turin, May 12, 2006 – The Board of Directors of Pininfarina S.p.A. met today under the chairmanship of Sergio Pininfarina and approved the report on operations of the Group in the first three months of 2006.

The quarterly financial statements at March 31, 2006 were prepared in accordance with the international accounting principles set forth in IAS 34 and comply with IFRS guidelines. In order to allow the comparison of homogeneous data, the financial statements for the first three months of 2005 have been restated in accordance with the same principles.

In the first quarter of 2006, the Pininfarina Group was busy on two fronts. On the manufacturing side, it ramped up production of two new models (the Alfa Romeo Brera and the Volvo C70). Meanwhile, its service business continued to develop both future Pininfarina products and design and engineering projects for third parties.

At March 31, 2006, value of production totaled 134.4 million euros, or 34.9% more than in the same period in 2005 (99.6 million euros). Despite this sharp increase in revenues, the Group still reported a loss both at the operating level (-11.4 million euros, +21.6 million euros at March 31, 2005) and in terms of its bottom line (-8.1 million euros, +22 million euros at March 31, 2005). These results are roughly in line with the forecast provided for 2006, which called for a breakeven year, but only after the Group’s activities begin to operate at full capacity in the second half of the year.

If one is to view the 2006 and 2005 quarterly figures in a similar light, it is important to keep in mind that the data for 2005:

- benefited from a gain of 30.2 million euros on the sale of the investment in the Open Air Systems GmbH joint venture;

- reflected a cost structure that, while the number of units manufactured was declining as the various models were reaching the end of their production runs (Ford Streetka and Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin), was certainly less penalizing than the situation that existed in the first quarter of 2006, when the Group was stepping up production of the Alfa Romeo Brera, Mitsubishi Colt CZC and Volvo C70 and preparing to start manufacturing the Alfa Romeo Spider and Ford Focus CC.

The net financial position was positive by 26.7 million euros, an improvement over the negative balance of 6.9 million euros at December 31, 2005 (+36 million euros at March 31, 2005). An increase in liquidity made possible by changes in working capital requirements and a positive difference between production loans receivable and payable are the main reasons for this improvement.

At March 31, 2006, the Group had 2,738 employees (4.6% more than the 2,618 employees on staff at March 31, 2005). Another 702 were employed by Sverige A.B., Pininfarina’s Swedish joint venture.

A review of the data by business segment shows that the manufacturing operations generated total value of production of 97.4 million euros (+72.4%, compared with 56.5 million euros in 2005). This increase is explained by the following factors:
- higher unit output (+8.3%);
- expanded processing assignment due to a change in the production cycle;
- greater unit value of the products manufactured this year as compared with those manufactured in 2005.

EBIT were negative by 12.1 million euros, compared with positive EBIT of 22.8 million euros at March 31, 2005 (which included a gain of 30.2 million euros on the sale of the investment in Open Air Systems GmbH).

In the coming weeks, the Alfa Romeo Spider will join other recently introduced models on the production line. Manufacture of the Ford Focus CC will follow in the second half of the year, completing the line of products that the Group will be manufacturing in the coming years. The rehiring of employees who were enrolled in the Special Government Layoff Benefits Fund has been virtually completed. To meet the temporary staffing requirements that occur when model production is being ramped up, the Group signed an agreement allowing it to use employees seconded from other businesses (more than 400 employees for all of 2006).

The value of production generated by the Group’s service businesses, which include design, industrial design and engineering, amounted to 37 million euros, or 14.2% less than at March 31, 2005, when it amounted to 43.1 million euros. A decrease in development work for Pininfarina products accounts for the shortfall. On the other hand, assignments for non-captive customers increased, allowing the improvement in profitability that started in the second half of 2005 to continue in the first quarter of 2006. Specifically, the EBIT of the service business were positive by 0.6 million euros, compared with negative EBIT of 1.2 million euros at March 31, 2005.

Forecasts for the balance of the year call for consolidated value of production to top 700 million euros. The increase over the 2005 figure (383 million euros) will be realized mainly once the full new product line is in place.

For all of 2006, EBIT should be close to breakeven, with the profitability of the Group’s regular operations increasing sufficiently in the second half of the year to offset the losses incurred during the first six months of 2006. The net financial position should contract compared with the first three months of the year, reflecting the completion of the Group’s capital investment programs.

The early positive feedback that is coming from the international markets strengthens the conviction that the new models, which have required an unprecedented manufacturing and financial effort, will be successful commercially. Specifically:
- The commercial launch of the Volvo C70 (more than 3,600 cars produced thus far) in March in the United States and Great Britain, and in Italy and the rest of Europe a few days ago, points to greater demand than was originally anticipated;
- The Mitsubishi Colt CZC (over 1,000 units manufactured thus far) seems headed for commercial success. Following its pan-European launch in March and even before the launch of the Open Doors, which is scheduled for June in Europe, orders have been very strong, especially in Germany.
- The award received by the Alfa Romeo Spider, which was voted Cabrio of the Year at the Geneva Motor Show, bodes well for its future on the eve of the start of production. The Spider will complement the Alfa Romeo Brera (more than 6,000 units sold thus far);
- Lastly, the Ford sales network has steadily growing expectations of success for the Focus CC, which, after being previewed in Geneva, will be officially introduced to the public at the London Motor Show in July.



Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

The Shareholders’ Meeting of Pininfarina S.p.A., which was convened today at 10:45 AM under the chairmanship of Sergio Pininfarina, approved the 2005 Annual Report.

The beginning of the complete renewal of the line of vehicles manufactured by the Group and the consolidation of its international presence were the two developments that characterized 2005. Specifically, production of the Alfa Romeo Brera and Volvo C70 got under way during the year and, on the international front, the Swedish subsidiaries Pininfarina Sverige and RHTU Sverige and the French subsidiaries Matra Automobile Engineering Maroc and Matra Développement became fully operational.

In 2005, the value of production generated by the Pininfarina Group totaled 383 million euros, compared with 557.8 million euros reported at the end of 2004 (-31.3%). A significant shortfall in the contribution provided by the manufacturing operations (value of production of 214.8 million euros, or 47% less than in 2004), which is cyclical in nature, could be offset only in part by the steady growth enjoyed by the service operations (value of production of 168.2 million euros, +10%).

The year ended with negative EBIT of 8.3 million euros (-2.2% of value of production), due mainly to the sharp contraction experienced by the manufacturing operations. In 2004, the Group reported positive EBIT of 8.1 million euros (1.4% of value of production).

The net loss for the year amounted to 8.1 million euros (loss of 2.4 million euros at December 31, 2004).

The Group’s net financial position was negative by 6.9 million euros, compared with a surplus of 71.6 million euros at December 31, 2004. This change in financial structure reflects the Group’s strong commitment to growing its businesses, both in Italy and abroad, through new forms of cooperation with its customers (joint ventures). Specifically, the main reasons for the increase in indebtedness are the need to fund the work needed to develop and produce the new models and the contribution of the Group’s pro rata share of equity capital provided to Pininfarina Sverige AB, which this past December bought the Uddevalla plant from Volvo Car Corporation.

At December 31, 2005, the Group had 2,733 employees (5.5% more than the 2,591 employees on staff at the end of 2004). Another 671 have been working at the Swedish subsidiary Pininfarina Sverige since November 2005.

The comments made with respect to the consolidated data also apply to Pininfarina S.p.A., the Group’s Parent Company (the financial statements of Pininfarina S.p.A. were prepared in accordance with Italian accounting principles). Value of production amounted to 340.4 million euros (37.8% less than the 547.3 million euros reported at the end of 2004) and EBIT were negative by 37.9 million euros (positive EBIT of 18.5 million euros in 2004). The difference between the EBIT shown on the income statement of Pininfarina S.p.A. and the corresponding amount in the consolidated income statement is due not only to the difference in the scope of operations, but also to the different manner in which gains on the sales of equity investments (Open Air Systems GmbH and PF RE S.A.) are treated under Italian accounting principles and the IASs. The year ended with a net loss of 13.5 million euros, which includes a 6.3-million-euro writedown of the value at which the investment in Pininfarina Deutschland GmbH is carried (net profit of 13.8 million euros in 2004).
The net financial position totaled 56.8 million euros, down from 104.3 million euros at the end of 2004.

In view of the operating results for 2005 and considering the financial commitments that the Company will continue to face in 2006, the Board of Directors did not propose the distribution of a dividend.

In February, the Group offered a world preview of three new models at its Geneva Motor Show booth: the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, which was designed by Pininfarina; the Alfa Spider, which was named “Cabrio of the Year 2006”; and the Mitsubishi Colt CZC. The Group handled every phase of development, from design to engineering and production, for the Alfa Spider and the Mitsubishi Colt CZC. Two other models — the Ford Focus CC and the Volvo C70 — received the same enthusiastic response from the press and the public as the rest of the Pininfarina lineup.



The Shareholders’ Meeting approved the financial statements of Pininfarina S.p.A. at December 31, 2005 and passed resolutions concerning the following:
