Heidelberg on Course After First Half of Financial Year 2015/2016 With Sales and Result Up On Previous Year (y 2)

Assuming that the initiatives to increase margins in the Equipment area in particular and to optimize the portfolio take effect in the current financial year, the company continues to anticipate an operating margin on EBITDA of at least 8 percent of sales, adjusted for exchange rate effects, in financial year 2015/2016. The Heidelberg Equipment segment is expected to contribute within a range of 4 to 6 percent to this result and the Heidelberg Services segment 9 to 11 percent. In the Heidelberg Financial Services segment, the company will continue to primarily externalize customer financing. The segment should continue to provide a positive EBITDA contribution in the future.
