Outlook 2007

We expect 2007 to see

an increase in consolidated sales of at least 5%.

a further improvement in the operating result.

a positive free cash flow – before potential acquisitions.

In 2007 we intend

to spend approximately 4.6% of sales on research and development.

to invest approximately 6% of sales.

to achieve a better balance sheet structure (acquisitions, organic growth, higher dividend).
