Heidelberg Presents Final First-Quarter Figures; Incoming Orders Rise

Results in the Press and Postpress divisions

A successful drupa resulted in healthy incoming orders in the Press Division (offset printing) in the first quarter of the year under review. At 1.030 billion Euro, they were 26 percent up on the previous year’s level (previous year: 817 million Euro). Sales in the first three months totaled 568 million Euro (previous year: 639 million Euro). The poor performance of sales combined with additional costs, including those associated with drupa, led to an operating result of minus 29 million Euro (previous year: 21 million Euro).
