Financial year 2010/2011: Heidelberg presents figures for first six months – significant rise in incoming orders
Incoming orders for the second quarter of financial year 2010/2011 improved from EUR 534 million the previous year to EUR 650 million. This was partly due to positive exchange rate effects amounting to some EUR 39 million. As expected and in line with the company’s own planning, incoming orders were down on the first quarter of the current financial year, which was boosted by special items such as the IPEX exhibition in the United Kingdom and the ExpoPrint trade show in Brazil. Compared to the same six months of the previous year, incoming orders were up 33 percent (25 percent after adjustment for exchange rate effects) to EUR 1.436 billion (previous year: EUR 1.084 billion).
