Heidelberg Moving Forward with Measures to Achieve Profitability Targets

The third quarter’s preliminary operating result (EBIT) excluding special items is just in the black again at around €2 million (previous quarter: €5 million). After nine months, despite sales falling slightly compared to the previous year, Heidelberg has succeeded in improving the operating result excluding special items to €-19 million (previous year: €-26 million). As a result, the company is still planning to achieve a noticeably better operating result excluding special items for financial year 2011/12 as a whole than in the previous year.
