With increased revenues of 513 TEUR (prior year: 252 TEUR) the company was able to meet its targeted operating result of -6 TEUR (prior year: 64 TEUR) for the fiscal year due to considerably increased investments and significantly decreased proportion of its external debt ratio.

Balance sheet total increased by 2.9% from 8.199 TEUR to 8.435 TEUR. As a result of a significant laboratory expansion as well as various beginning-of-the-year and special-items effects, such as the initial operation of new crash-test facilities in Oberpfaffenhofen, annual profits changed from 169 TEUR to -270 TEUR. EBITDA changed from 786 TEUR to 412 TEUR. In the course of our growth strategy testing capacities for cell-, module- and destructive tests were further expanded. Also new crash test facilities were added to the test portfolio.
