GEA records solid performance in April and May

Oelde, June 26, 2013 – In the first five months of 2013, GEA reduced the year-on-year decline in order intake and revenue still reported for the first quarter thanks to a solid performance in April and May. Order intake in the period from January to May was only around 2 percent lower than the prior-year level, said CFO Helmut Schmale at the Company’s Capital Markets Day today. Revenue has now returned almost to the prior-year level. The Executive Board confirmed the outlook for full-year 2013.

GEA will publish its Q2 figures on July 30. The presentations from the event are available at www.gea.com .
