The decrease compared to 2012 (revenue EUR 142.6m, EBIT 5.8m) mainly resulted from a weaker business in Core Europe while all other market segments have shown a stable or positive development. In addition the result was impacted by higher costs as tariff increases. Order intake and order backlog as of end of June were above prior year's level. Therefore WashTec aims at revenues on previous year's level at an EBIT margin of five to six percent (of revenues) for the full year. The complete half year report will be published August 7, 2013.
