Hamburg – In its report for the first 9 months of 2006, Hamburg-based Thielert reveals further substantial sales and profit increases. Compared to the same period last year, the the aircraft engine manufacturer's EBIT amounted to EUR 13 million, approximately 61 per cent more than in 2005 (EUR 8.1 million). In the third quarter alone, the EBIT result stood at EUR 5.9 million, an increase of 84 per cent over the prior-year value (EUR 3.2 million). The dramatic growth was mainly accounted for by the Aircraft Engines segment, whose EBIT shows a plus of 71 percent.
Group sales, too, almost doubled to EUR 47.5 million, mainly owing to the Technology & Prototyping segment, which boosted its sales by 155 percent to EUR 25.4 million (from EUR 10 million). This is due to the sales of Superior Air Parts, Inc. (SAP), which must be taken into consideration starting from the second quarter of 2006. The Aircraft Engines segment achieved a sales increase of 59 percent, growing to EUR 22.1 million (from EUR 13.9 million).
EBT went up by 145 percent to EUR 12 million (from EUR 4.9 million). After tax, the Thielert Group's income amounted to EUR 8 million, an increase of 208 percent over the same period last year (EUR 2.6 million).
During the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the group's workforce averaged 315 (270 in Germany, 45 in the USA). This figure includes 18 apprentices.
