init innovation in traffic systems AG has managed a successful start
into the 2005 fiscal year, having achieved the best first quarter in
company history. According to initial figures, its revenues are
likely to have doubled as against the previous year. In the first
quarter of 2004, the Karlsruhe-based specialist in telematics and
fare collection systems for buses and trains had recorded sales of
3.6 million Euro.
Due to sales developing at a highly dynamic level and the reduction
of fixed costs achieved as early as in 2004, even the earnings (EBIT)
of init will for the first time in company history be distinctly
positive after only three months into the fiscal year.
The target figures for both sales and earnings have thus been well
exceeded in the first quarter. In addition to the sustained positive
development in international business, the cause of this is found in
a revitalization of demand on the domestic market. 
The full quarterly report for the first quarter of 2005 will be
published in time for the shareholders’ meeting on May 11, 2005.
