Analytik Jena Announces Preliminary Figures for the 2008/2009 Financial Year
- Sales rose to over EUR 71.0 m in the instrument business
- Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 34.0 % to EUR 6.3 m
- Earnings per share negatively impacted by increased income tax rate
Jena, November 10, 2009 — Analytik Jena AG (Frankfurt DE0005213508, Prime Standard: AJA) was still in line to achieve its main target in the 2008/2009 financial year and continued to enjoy strong growth despite the difficult overall economic climate. This was the announcement made by the Company today at the German Equity Conference held in Frankfurt am Main.
Over the past 2008/2009 financial year, the analytical, bioanalytical and optical systems and applications manufacturer achieved sales of EUR 71.2 m (previous year: EUR 53.1 m) in its instrument business. The Company therefore posted sales growth of 34.1 % in its core business, including the acquired subsidiaries CyBio AG and Biometra GmbH. Organic growth alone stood at 10.3 %. In the segments analytical solutions and bio solutions, Analytik Jena gained significant ground, whilst sales in optical solutions were down year-on-year.
Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 34.0 % to EUR 6.3 m (previous year: EUR 4.7 m), which corresponds to an EBIT margin of 8.9 %. Earnings before taxes (EBT) rose from EUR 2.9 m in the previous year to expectedly more than EUR 4.0 m in this period.
Also the operating cash flow with nearly EUR 6.0 m compared with the negative value of EUR -1.7 m in the previous year was developing positively.
For earnings per share the Company cannot report any resilient figures so far. This is attributable to tax burden by subsidiaries abroad that need to be audited yet. An increased income tax compared with the previous year is expected, so earnings per share will probably be close to the previous year's result.
Considering the consolidating global economy and the positive industry forecasts, Analytik Jena expects to continue its positive development and its overall growth.
The figures given in the announcement are preliminary figures. The final results for the 2008/2009 financial year (as of September 30) will be announced by the Group on December 17, 2009.

- Well-known player in the growing market segment substantially strengthens life sciences portfolio of Analytik Jena
- Innovative products of Analytik Jena meet a well-positioned worldwide distribution network in over 60 countries
Jena / Goettingen, 30 April 2009 - Analytik Jena AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard: AJA), a manufacturer and distributor of analytical and bioanalytical systems for industrial and scientific applications, today announced signing of deal for the acquisition of Biometra GmbH.
Biometra develops and provides innovative products in the broad field of thermo-cycling, electrophoresis, blotting, gel imaging and hybridization. The company was founded in 1985 and is one of the pioneers in the field of DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. The Biometra PCR instruments are well positioned worldwide. Sales in recent years have been steady around 9.0 million EUR with good profitability. The integration of Biometra increases the competence of Analytik Jena in the field of DNA analysis through additional new technologies, and significantly strengthens the distribution structure. As a company with a longstanding tradition Biometra has a well-established distribution network. Through the acquisition Analytik Jena boosts its presence especially in Asia and Europe. In addition, it increases the direct distribution channels in the home market of Germany. Biometra has 55 employees.
Analytik Jena will acquire 100%of the shares of Biometra GmbH on 11.05.2009, based on an all cash transaction. The shares will be acquired from Whatman GmbH. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The product portfolios of the two companies are complementary. Analytik Jena also develops and distributes products for thermocycling, under a patented process, which enables an extremely rapid DNA reproduction. This is also true for other products, such as DNA-kits, DNA-chip Photometer, gel electrophoresis or gel-documentation. Hence, further innovative product developments can be optimized and faster implemented. Those synergies strengthen and accelerate the development of further innovative products.
