DMG Mori Aktiengeselschaft completed in a volatile market environment the first half year 2016 according to plan: Order intake was € 1,158.2 million (previous year: € 1,203.3 million). This decline is mainly attributable to cancellations made by us due to non-receipt of advance payments. Without this measure, the order intake figure would be above the previous year’s level. Sales revenues amounted to € 1,092.5 million (previous year: € 1,090.2 million). EBITDA totalled € 94.2 million (previous year: € 94.9 million), EBIT was € 65.3 million (previous year: € 68.4 Mio. €) and EBT amounted to € 61.2 million (previous year: € 65.7 million). As of 30 June 2016, the group reports earnings after taxes of € 42.8 million (previous year: € 45.3 million). Sales revenues in the second quarter reached € 551.1 million (previous year: € 551.8 million). For the half year, sales revenues were slightly above the previous year’s value at € 1,092.5 million (previous year: € 1,090.2 million). International sales revenues amounted to € 729.4 million and were thereby at about the previous year’s level (€ 733.3 million). Domestic sales revenues increased to € 363.1 million (previous year: € 356.9 million). The export quota amounted to 67% as in the previous year. In the second quarter, order intake amounted to € 566.6 million (previous year: € 616.1 million). This decline is mainly attributable to cancellations made by us due to non-receipt of advance payments. Without this measure, the order intake figure would be above the previous year’s level.
