Semiannual financial statements 2011
Striking increase in orders and sales – Currency effects depress results
Compared to the same period of the previous year the Mikron Group reported substantially higher order intake, sales and order backlog in the first half of 2011. The productivity gains achieved by Mikron in the past twelve months are also encouraging. After posting a loss in the same period of the previous year the group thus again reported a positive EBIT figure. In the absence of the unfavorable currency trend the Mikron Group would have made considerably greater progress in terms of earnings in the first half of 2011.

Results of the Mikron Group for the 2010 financial year
Mikron returns to sales growth and break-even results
Mikron generated small positive net earnings of CHF 0.4 million in the 2010 financial year (prior year: CHF - 32.8 million) and an EBIT of CHF 1.5 million (prior year: CHF - 31.8 million). As a result Mikron was able to benefit from the clear upturn in the mechanical engineering and systems manufacturing industries. Both of Mikron's divisions achieved a positive EBIT. Order intake and net sales were both significantly above year-back levels at CHF 219.8 million (+69.5%) and CHF 182.5 million (+21.6%) respectively on the back of good sales successes.

Volume figures for 2010 financial year
Healthy order intake and good sales growth
The Mikron Group posted an order intake of CHF 219.8 million in the 2010 financial year (+69.5% compared to previous year) and recorded net sales of CHF 182.5 million (+21.6%). The healthy demand experienced in the first half continued throughout the second six months of the year. As announced, sales rose by a further substantial margin in the second half. Order backlog achieved a satisfactory CHF 83.9 million (+63.9%). Consequently, the Mikron Group was able to derive above-average benefit from the upturn and is emerging from the crisis with lean structures. Profitability continued to improve in the second half. Mikron should achieve its goal of a small positive EBIT despite the unfavourable exchange rate trend.
