Softing AG today announced that based on preliminary figures it recorded sales of just under EUR 24 million in 2006 (previous year: EUR 22.1 million). Despite the good result achieved by the Industrial Automation division, EBIT will be at about EUR -1.9 million due to the costs of repositioning the Automotive Electronics division and the impairment loss associated with this (see news release December 18, 2006). The Executive Board believes this impact on earnings to be non-recurring and limited to the 2006 financial year.
At approx. EUR 25 million, incoming orders, the key figure critical to the future business of Softing, was up more than 16% compared to the previous year. The Executive Board therefore expects business in 2007 to be both growing and profitable.
The exact figures will probably be published in March after the Supervisory Board has audited and approved the consolidated financial statements.
