The half-year figures also document the company’s positive business performance. These first six months of 2004 saw sales of 32,814 TEUR (previous year: 30,235 TEUR), earnings before interest and taxes of 1,598 TEUR (previous year 1,350 TEUR) and a mid-year net profit of 615 TEUR (previous year: 88 TEUR). The three logistics projects acquired in the first half of the year were started on schedule with the assumption of operational-logistics responsibility as of 1 July 2004. This means that organic growth will continue in the latter half of the year. Experience shows that the second half is weaker in terms of sales and earnings than the first six months. In light of this, the corporate group, which for the first time had a staffing strength of more than 1,000 people in July, expects no change in its annual sales of EUR 68 million and foresees no significant contribution to earnings in the second half of 2004.
