Bietigheim-Bissingen, September 30, 2013 - Due to the continued positive development in the third quarter of 2013, Dürr has increased its EBIT margin guidance for 2013 from the previous figure of between 7.0 and 7.5% to a new forecast of between 7.5 and 8.0%. In the first six months, Dürr already achieved an EBIT margin of 7.3% despite a slight sales decline. Dürr expects a growth in sales in the second half versus the first half of the year, which will have a positive effect on its EBIT margin. Expected figures for sales (€ 2.4 to 2.6 billion) and incoming orders (€ 2.3 to 2.5 billion) remain unchanged for 2013.
Dürr will publish its results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013 on November 6, 2013.
