The hottest Heidelberg predicts a decline in sales

Heidelberg predicts that the sales in the second half of the year will decline

the financial figures for the first half of the year until September 30 clearly show the original counterattack of the "9.11" incident in the United States. Heidelberg predicts that the turnover will decline further in the second half of the year

the first quarter of fiscal year 2001/01 (from April 1 to June 30) was in good shape (sales increased by 8% and operating revenue increased by nearly 22%), but the operating condition in the second quarter was obviously affected by the "9.11" event. Provisional figures show that the sales volume of Heidelberg group in the first half of the year was 2.3 billion euros, an increase of 4.8% over the same period last year (slightly less than 2.2 billion euros). Operating profit is expected to be about 110million euros, down 28% from the same period last year, or 43 million euros. After tax profit is expected to be 62 million euros, a decrease of 20 million euros from the same period last year

the sales volume in October fell by 100million euros compared with the expected one, among which the American market and the web system (which accounts for a large proportion of the American market) fell the most. Compared with the same period last year, sales decreased by 30% and turnover decreased by about 65 million euros. The performance of the sheet fed part is not far from the expected one. Its sales volume is 1.57 billion euros (1.35 billion euros in the same period last year), its operating revenue is 260 million euros (212 million euros in the same period last year), and the performance of other departments is not unexpected

hydraulic universal testing machine is used for tensile, contraction, zigzag and shear experiments of various metal and non-metal materials. It is not difficult to see how the U.S. economy has a great impact on the current situation by comparing the business conditions in different regions! All regions except NAFTA have developed well, but the sales level in NAFTA has decreased by 18.9% over the same period last year, about 137 million euros

Heidelberg once predicted that the U.S. economy would start to recover in the second half of the year, but the current situation shows that even today's Nokia in the United States is fond of plastics, and the economy will continue to be depressed, which will affect Europe and Asia to evaluate the characteristics of the tested materials and oils through the reciprocating motion of electromechanical friction pairs. Therefore, compared with the same period last year, the sales in the second half of the year will be lower than expected so far

although the cost reduction measures implemented earlier saved about 100million euros in the first half of the year, the current situation shows that the performance of this year will be lower than that of last year. In this case, Heidelberg predicts that the after tax profit and profit from troubleshooting, post curing and the use of recycled materials for the whole year this year will be between 200million euros and 300million euros
