Outlook FY 2014/15
Based on the strong demand in the industry in the second half of the
calendar year 2014 – particularly in the mobile devices segment – and the
low visibility in respect to the first quarter of the calendar year 2015 we are
assuming that, provided the macro-economic environment remains stable
and considering todays foreign exchange rates, business development will
continue to be on a satisfactory level. For the full year 2014/15 we expect
revenues in line with prior year and an EBITDA margin on the upper level
of our target corridor of 18-20%.
