The positive developments in Ambu continued in Q1 2008/09, and total revenue
increased by 11%. The growth is generated by a broad range of products and
geographical markets. The economic slowdown has not yet had any noticeable
impact on Ambu. The operating profit was DKK 15.3m against DKK 16.4m last year.
Extraordinary expenses relating to organisational restructurings of approx. DKK
2m were incurred in Q1. Since autumn 2008, Ambu has been focusing on launching
more new products, intensifying its sales efforts, streamlining its operations
and acquiring products or companies, in particular. The outlook for revenue and
profits in 2008/09 is unchanged compared to previous announcements.
