Comet Group 2011: Umsatz auf Vorjahresniveau, Reingewinn über den Erwartungen

08.02.2012 | von Comet AG

08.02.2012, Aufgrund eines erfreulich umsatzstarken Dezembers der Division X-Ray Systems konnte die COMET Gruppe 2011 die zuletzt kommunizierten Erwartungen auf Stufe Umsatz leicht übertreffen und beim EBITDA halten. In einem herausfordernden Umfeld erwirtschaftete die Gruppe einen konsolidierten Nettoerlös auf Vorjahresniveau von 217 Mio. CHF. Dies entspricht in lokalen Währungen einem Umsatzwachstum von 12% gegenüber Vorjahr. Auf Stufe EBITDA erwarten Management und Verwaltungsrat eine Marge von rund 12.6% des Umsatzes und damit, wie angekündigt, vorab wegen des starken Schweizer Frankens ein operatives Ergebnis leicht unter Vorjahr.
