JUMBO S.A. : Announcement
|
Impressive increase of sales for the ten months period
Jumbo group the biggest retail company of toys, baby products, stationary products and other relevant products in Greece announces the sales for the ten months period of the current financial year that includes the sales of the Greek Orthodox Easter.
In the first half of the financial year sales grew by 17.39% y-o-y. The Greek Orthodox Easter sales had a positive effect in the group's sales growth which reached 18.3% y-o-y in the ten months of the current financial year. Jumbo stores in Greece and the hyper-store in Bulgaria contributed significantly in the company's performance as the continuing strike in the harbours caused disturbance in the supply of the stores in Cyprus.
The high-selling period of Easter has a positive effect on the last quarter of the current financial year while last year's sales were divided between the third and fourth quarter as Greek Orthodox Easter was celebrated significantly earlier. As a result nine months results are not directly comparable with last year's nine months results.
As a side effect of the above:
a)Sales growth for the nine months period will be lower than the six months growth rate
b)On the contrary the gross profit margin will be substantially improved as sales mix does not include branded products that are sold mainly in Easter enjoy lower gross margins.
For the ten months period which includes Easter's sales, sales growth rate is increased impressively above the six months growth rate. There will be a deterioration of the gross margin but it will be still slightly improved from the six months levels. It is also expected an improvement of the expenses as a percentage of sales from the nine months levels.
The company will announce the nine months results on May 20th after the end of trading on Athens Exchange.
The company's management after the ten months sales performance estimates that for the full financial year the group's sales growth will reach the six months growth of 17.39% or will be improved. Regarding the net profit the management estimates that the six months growth rate of 21.42% is feasible with a probability to exceed it if there is a last minute positive development regarding the situation in the Greek harbors and the road transports with the continuing strikes. These growth rates are significantly higher from the management's current financial year's target of 15% growth in sales and profits.

KLEEMANN HELLAS S.A. : Annual Presentation
|
An investing program of 16,5 million Euros is being realized by Kleemann group in the three year period of 2007-2009 aiming at becoming among the most advanced European manufacturing and trading companies of complete elevator systems.
The above were mentioned during the presentation of the company at SMEXA by the commercial manager and deputy general manager of Kleemann Nikos Koukountzos.
In relation to the financial figures of the group during the first semester of the year 2008 compared to the equivalent semester of the
year 2007, Mr. Koukountzos mentioned that they are expected to be satisfactory in sales, profitability and efficiency.
According to Mr. Koukountzos the keystones of strategic development for the group are:
- In Greece, the strengthening of communication with the public, exploiting opportunities created by modernization and the replacement of components of the elevators in operation, and last, the promotion of complete lift systems.
- Abroad, the design of innovative products covering specific needs, further stabilization and development of commercial networks in
developed countries having high standards and technical requirements and lastly establishing the position of the group through cooperation with manufacturers of the industry.
A factor contributing decisively to the course of Kleemann is the fact that the company is one of the largest companies of the industry at European and global level owning approximately 3% of the global market of installed units.
"The positive outlook of the management for the year 2008 comes from the positive course of the first semester of the financial year,
further development of operations of the subsidiaries and their competitive position in the global market", Mr. Koukountzos mentioned.
It should be noted that the management of the company is expecting an increase in group sales of 8% (at 115 million Euros) whereas profit before tax is estimated that will amount at a high level coming from operating profitability.
An additional factor contributing decisively to the successful course of Kleemann, is high specialisation, long experience and new services offered such as the consulting renovation center and fully operational web support, and shortly the new testing tower created for high speed - high travel elevators.

MARITIME COMPANY OF LESVOS S.A. : ANALYSIS ON THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2008
|
NEL LINES S.A. management, beyond the publicized financial statements on 31.03.2008, would like to provide the investors with better information about the Company's financial results.
Company's gross result of the 1st quarter of 2008 appear to have been increased for 30% in comparison to the equal period of the previous fiscal year. The results, on the basis of traveled miles, inform us that the gross result increase is attributed to the 4,5% increase in vessels' revenue, due to the increased traffic figures and pricing policy, and to the 2,5% decrease in vessels ' operating and management expenses (excluding depreciation).
Apart from the fact that during the specific period the average fuel cost per mile increased for 39%, the most important factors that benefited the operating expenses in comparison to the 1st quarter of the previous fiscal year are: a) decrease of 8,5% in crew cost as a result of the efficient employment of the crew and b) decrease of 36% in rest cost elements (except insurance cost) as a result of the more realistic and effective use of materials. It should be mentioned that at the gross result of the 1st quarter of 2008, is also included the amount of EURO 1.689 thousand (in proportion of 78,9%), concerning the high speed vessels' operating and management expenses, which were inactive during this specific period.
The equal percentage for the 1st quarter of the previous fiscal year amounts to EURO 1.966 thousand (in proportion 62,9%).
Administrative and Distribution expenses of the Group (apart from agents' fees) decreased for 49,7% in comparison to the equal period of the previous fiscal year, as a result of the organizational restructuring of the company and the improvement of company's productivity. Interest expenses decreased for 42% in comparison to the equal period of the previous fiscal year due to the decrease in bank liabilities.
'Earnings before taxation, financing and investing results, and depreciation (EBITDA)' for the current quarter appeared as loss amounted to EURO 2.293 thousand instead of EURO 1.384 thousand profit of similar period of the previous year, and 'Profit/Loss after taxes' for the current period appeared as loss amounted to EURO 4.623 thousand instead of EURO 2.571 thousand during the equal period of the previous year. It should be mentioned that results (EBITDA and results after taxes) of the 1st quarter of the previous year were benefited with the reversal impairment of high speed vessels that amounted to EURO 5.067 thousand.
The most significant factor that had a negative impact on the aimed profit margin was the increase in fuel prices.
