In Q2, Ambu continued the implementation of a number of the activities aimed at
ensuring the fulfilment of the targets set out in Strategy 2008. These included
focused sales activities in several markets, streamlining of electrode
production at the factory in Ølstykke, Denmark, and an improved purchasing
function. The growth in revenue saw an increase in Q2 of 10% measured in local
currencies. The operating profit (EBIT) was DKK 25.4m, up 17% on the same
period last year. Ambu's expectations for FY 2006/07 remain unchanged except
for the effect of the development in USD. At the current USD exchange rate,
Ambu still expects revenue in the region of DKK 750m and an operating profit in
the region of DKK 97m in 2006/07 before adjustment for the one-time effect of
the employee share scheme offered.
