announcement.
Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG, Berlin, a
leading manufacturer of innovative, radioactive components for the
treatment of cancer and restenosis, continued to accelerate its
growth with sales of 9.1 Mio EUR for the six months ended in the year
2000. The six month sales figures nearly achieved total sales for the
year 1999. Results from ordinary activities climbed by 205% to 1.2
Mio EUR compared with the prior year period, net income increased by
0.8 Mio EUR to 0.6 Mio EUR. Cash flow rose by 86% to 2.5 mio EUR. The
essential engine of growth was oncological radiation sources
(remedies against restenosis), whose sales quintupled compared with
the prior year period. Sales of cardiological sources (remedies
against cardiac diseases) showed an increase of 38% over the first
half of 1999. The product groups standards, industrial and
calibration sources achieved a sales growth of 63% compared with the
first half-year of the prior year. Even when calculated on a dollar
basis, i.e., eliminating the favorable exchange rate fluctuation, we
still find 40% growth over the prior year - encouraging growth rates
clearly exceeding expectations.
The strong sales increases were also attributed to the products of
the radiation sources business of DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company
which was acquired by Eckert & Ziegler in June, 2000. For the current
fiscal year, the board of directors expects sales of approximately 21
Mio EUR and a result after taxes of approximately 2.2 Mio EUR.
