Based upon preliminary and unaudited figures, Pfeiffer Vacuum hereby announces that sales figures for FY 2013 have fallen short of the guided level. Expected sales should now materialize between EUR 400m and EUR 410m. The EBIT margin goal of 12% for the full year continues to be valid. The reason for this development is the postponement by customers of deliveries into 2014. Detailed figures will be announced by mid-February.
