Group turnover up by around 19% to DM 3.2 million / Sales and
marketing costs hamper result / Strong growth momentum in Japan and
China aap Implantate AG increased group turnover by about 19% to DM
3,164 thousands in the first quarter of 2000 (previous year: DM 2,662
thousands). The quarter was marked by further intensification of
marketing and sales activities in Germany and abroad, which continues
at a fast pace. The results of these activities were demonstrated
particularly in strong sales growth of more than 35% in the Asian
market. In the period under review, total output rose by 8% on the
year to DM 4,597 thousands. The operating result is DM 129 thousands
(previous year: DM 358 thousands), due mainly to an increase in other
operating costs resulting largely from a steep rise in marketing and
sales expenditure. Spending on materials and personnel increased
slightly in comparison with the same quarter of last year. Group net
profit for the period was DM 23 thousands (previous year: DM 175
thousands). In contrast to the previous year, there were no DVFA/SG
adjustments to be made in the quarter under review. So the DVFA/SG
result for the period is DM 23 thousands (previous year: DM 316
thousands) and the DVFA/SG result per share is DM 0.01 (previous
year: DM 0.09). aap expects to be granted approval to sell the
company's entire product range in the strategically important Chinese
market by as soon as the third quarter of 2000. In parallel,
intensive marketing preparations are under way for a swift start as
soon as the go-ahead is given. In the field of innovations, the
company currently has two complete product systems close to market
launch: the BFS (Biorigid Femur System) modules and the trauma
shoulder prosthesis. If you have any queries, please contact: aap
