Höft & Wessel AG provided preliminary earnings guidance for the full year 2012. For the year, the company will achieve EUR 79.9 million in sales revenues, more than expected, and the company's operating result, at negative EUR 7.9 million, will also be better than the figure forecast. The preliminary business figures for 2012 also reflect the successes of the restructuring initiated in mid-2012.

Within the scope of a complex and integrated programme, improvement potentials of over EUR 10 million were identified and translated into more than 770 savings measures for realization. These had already been implemented to an extent of almost more than 60% at the end of 2012 and will be completed by mid-2013.
