Gräfelfing/München (pta006/10.08.2018/08:10) - In the first nine months of financial year 2017/2018, the Hönle Group generated sales revenues of TEur88,750, representing a 23.2% increase year-on-year.

The increase in earnings is largely attributable to the excellent business development in the Adhesives segment. Orders received from the electronics industry in the smart phones segment, in particular, led to a shape rise in sales and earnings. Earnings before tax (EBT) climbed from TEur8,353 to TEur19,669. After deduction of income taxes, the consolidated profit came to TEur14,208 (PY: TEur5,877), corresponding to earnings per share of Eur2.58 (PY: Eur1.07).

The operating result (EBIT) jumped by 231.8 % to TEur 7,392 in the current financial year. Thus, the Hönle Group generated the best period result in its more than 40-year corporate history for the second consecutive quarter. The increase in earnings is attributable to the excellent business development in the Adhesives segment. In particular, orders received from the electronics industry in the smart phones segment led to a shape rise in sales and earnings. The customer base was further expanded in this segment. Earnings before taxes (EBT) jumped by 239.0 % to TEur 7,319 and the consolidated profit by 246.0 % to TEur 5,200. This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur 0.95 (PY: Eur 0.27).

15.12.2017

Graefelfing, Munich (pta006/15.12.2017/08:05) - Preliminary figures indicate a 9.1 % rise in Hönle Group's revenues to TEur 101,926 in the financial year 2016/2017. The operating result (EBIT) improved by 22.6 % to TEur 15,207. Earnings before taxes climbed by 23.5 % to TEur 14,877 and the consolidated result rose by 25.6 % to TEur 10, 414, corresponding to earnings per share of Eur 1.89 (PY: Eur 1.50). The positive business development is also reflected in improved earnings margins: The EBIT margin rose from 12.9 % to 14.8 % and net profit on sales from 8.9 % to 10.2 %.

04.12.2017

Gräfelfing/München (pta026/04.12.2017/15:30) - The Hönle Group increases its profit forecast (EBIT) for the financial year 2017/2018 from between Eur16 and 18 million to between Eur22 and 26 million. This considerable increase in profit is due to an anticipated strong development of the business, particularly in the segment Adhesives. The number of applications for adhesives in the manufacture of smartphones has been considerably expanded. As a consequence, Hönle anticipates that its business with adhesives in the field of consumer electronics will develop highly positively. In addition, increasing sales and profit in the segments Equipment & Systems as well as Glass & Lamps are assumed. Sales of between Eur105 and 115 million originally anticipated have therefore been adjusted to between Eur115 and 125 million.

17.08.2017

Gräfelfing, Munich (pta011/17.08.2017/07:40) - In the first nine months of the 2016/2017 financial year, the Hönle Group generated revenue of Eur72,052 thousand or an increase of 4.8% compared to the previous year's period. The operating result (EBIT) came to Eur8,564 thousand, which is slightly below the previous year's figure of Eur8,785 thousand. The temporary decline in earnings is primarily due to restructuring processes in the Equipment & Systems segment. The restructuring processes concern the bundling of several warehouse sites at a new central warehouse in the Munich region and the relocation of the production site from Unterlüß to Gräfelfing. The Hönle Group's earnings before taxes decreased from Eur8,508 thousand to Eur8,353 thousand, while consolidated profit advanced from Eur5,713 thousand to Eur5,877 thousand due to a lower tax burden. This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur1.07 (PY: Eur1.03). The EBIT margin came to 11.8% in the reporting year after 12.3% in the previous year. The net profit on sales ratio dropped from 8.3% to 8.2%.

19.05.2017

Gräfelfing/München (pta007/19.05.2017/06:55) - In the first six months of the 2016/2017 financial year, revenue generated by the Hönle Group increased by 5.4% to Eur47,228 thousand. Revenue in the first quarter was down on the previous year due to the relocation of a production site of Eltosch Grafix GmbH to Dr. Hönle AG in Gräfelfing near Munich, before returning to growth in the second quarter as expected. The operating result improved by 5.2% to Eur5,623 thousand. Earnings before taxes rose by 6.3% to Eur5,481 thousand, while consolidated net income improved by 7.3% to Eur3,819 thousand. This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur0.70 (previous year: Eur0.64).

22.02.2017

Gräfelfing/München (pta007/22.02.2017/07:25) - In the first quarter of financial year 2016/2017, the Hönle Group generated sales revenues of TEur 22,180, which corresponds to a 2.0 % decrease year-on-year. The operating result (EBIT) of TEur 2,228 was below the prior-year's figure of TEur 2,788. The decline in earnings is due to temporarily lower sales revenues generated in the Equipment & Systems segment in the context of the relocation of an Eltosch Grafix GmbH production site to Dr. Hönle AG in Gräfelfing near Munich. The Hönle Group's earnings before tax stood at TEur 2,159 (PY: TEur 2,687) and consolidated net income amounted to TEur 1,503 (PY: TEur 1,878). This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur 0.27 (PY: Eur 0.34). The EBIT margin came to 9.7 % in the reporting year after 12.1 % in the previous year. Net return on sales declined from 8.3 % to 6.8 %.

15.12.2016

Gräfelfing/München (pta007/15.12.2016/07:55) - According to provisional figures, the Hönle Group revenue rose by 1.3 % to TEur 93,415 in the 2015/2016 financial year. After TEur 13,524 in the previous year, the operating result (EBIT) was TEur 12,400 in the year under review. Lower adhesive revenues in the Consumer Electronics segment in the first half of the year, in particular, and the delayed start of production concerning furnaces for the semi-conductor industry are the main reasons for the decline in earnings in the 2015/2016 financial year. Moreover, expenses of about TEur 300 associated with the DRUPA trade fair as well as start-up losses of ca. TEur 300 respecting the newly founded SKC Panacol Ltd. in South Korea had an adverse impact on consolidated earnings.

16.08.2016

Gräfelfing, Munich (pta018/16.08.2016/11:55) - Sales revenues earned by the Hönle Group increased by 2.4 % to TEur 68,761 in the first nine months of financial year 2015/2016. The operating result (EBIT) declined by 7.5 % to TEur 8,785 due to lower adhesives sales in the area of consumer electronics and one-off factors such as expenses incurred for the DRUPA trade fair and start-up losses for the newly founded SKC Panacol Ltd. in South Korea. The Hönle Group's pretax result contracted from TEur 9,161 to TEur 8,508 and the consolidated net income came to TEur 5,713 (PY: TEur 6,709). This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur 1.03 (PY: Eur 1.19).

28.07.2016

Gräfelfing/Munich (pta022/28.07.2016/16:37) - The Hönle Group reduces its expectations for the current financial year. Revenues in the 2015/2016 financial year are expected to amount to Eur 90 to 92 million and the operating result will probably come to between Eur 12 and 13 million. Previously, the Company had assumed that revenues and the operating would be more or less on par with the previous year's level (Eur 92.2 million and Eur 13.5 million, respectively).

20.05.2016

Gräfelfing, Munich (pta006/20.05.2016/08:40) - In the first six months of the 2015/2016 financial year, the Hönle Group's sales revenues of TEur 44,811 were slightly up from the previous year's figure of TEur 44,207. The operating result (EBIT) fell from TEur 6,013 in the previous year to TEur 5,346 in the current financial year. In this context it should be noted, however, that the Hönle Group generated special income of TEur 313 in the previous year from the sale of brand rights concerning adhesives in the consumer goods segment. In addition, the proportion of sales generated by the Equipment and Systems segment was significantly higher than in the previous year, which resulted in a rise in the cost of materials ratio. The pre-tax result (EBT) decreased by 10.5 % to TEur 5,156 and the consolidated result saw a 17.6 % decline to TEur 3,561. This corresponds to earnings per share of Eur 0.64 (PY: Eur 0.76).

26.02.2016

Gräfelfing/München (pta005/26.02.2016/07:15) - Sales revenues earned by the Hönle Group increased by 3.9 % to TEur 22,641 in the first quarter of the 2015/2016 financial year.

Consolidated earnings saw a 4.3 % increase to TEur 1,878, which correspondents to earnings per share of Eur 0.34 (PY: Eur 0.32). Thus, the EBIT margin came to 12.1 % in the current financial year compared to 12.6 % in the previous year. Net profit on sales remained unchanged at 8.3 %. The Hönle Group's capital ratio stood at 65.0 %.

15.12.2015

Gräfelfing/Munich (pta006/15.12.2015/06:30) - According to preliminary figures, revenues generated by the Hönle Group in financial year 2014/2015 saw a 12.3 % increase to TEur 92,173.

While the pre-tax result climbed 56.4 % to TEur 14,023, the consolidated result grew by 58.9 % to TEur 10,320 which translates into earnings per share of Eur 1.84 (PY: Eur 1.13).

Net profit on sales grew from 7.9 % to 11.2 %.

In the previous year, special financial income-related influences amounting to Eur 1,491 led to an increase in the pre-tax result and consolidated net income for the year.
