INCAP CORPORATION STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 20 March 2007
INCAP'S FIRST QUARTER RESULT WILL BE NEGATIVE
The demand for Incap's deliveries to the telecommunications sector has during
the first months of the year been even weaker than forecasted. The estimated
revenue of the first-quarter will be about 20% lower than in the same period
last year and therefore, Incap's first-quarter result 2007 will be clearly
negative. For this reason, also the result for the first half-year is estimated
to be negative.
The demand for other customer segments has developed as expected. Acquisition of
new customers has proceeded promisingly but most of this growth will be
generated in the second half of the year. If the planned acquisition of TVS
Electronic's contract manufacturing unit is realised, Incap estimates to gain a
revenue of about EUR 10 million from its India business during the year 2007.
Incap's interim report for January-March will be published on 9 May 2007.
