Compared to Q1 of the previous fiscal year, sales increased by 5.5% to reach a total amount of EUR 48m. Concerning bookings, the company achieved a significant plus of 11.9% to reach a quarterly figure of EUR 63m. Order backlog remained strong with a slight decrease to EUR 143m compared to EUR 143.7m of the previous year's first quarter, thereby mirroring continued tendencies of customers to shift delivery dates backwards. The stable high order backlog is also caused by a tightened allocation of materials and a scarcity of resources on the supply side. All in all and with an EBIT figure of EUR 3.1m, DATA MODUL essentially reaches the performance level of previous year's Q1.
