Hamburg. The Jungheinrich AG (ISIN DE0006219934) has achieved high Earnings above expectations in the first half of 2010. The month of June has been the main contributor. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the second quarter will probably stand at 25.7 million euros (first quarter 2010: 12.0 million euros); Earnings for the half year are thus increasing to 37.7 million euros. The respective earnings after taxes will achieve 16.5 million euros in the second quarter (first quarter 2010: 8.3 million euros) and will thus realise 24.8 million euros in the first half of 2010. This is based on high turnover revenue due to a strong order intake with an improved product mix as well as considerably higher capacity utilisation in the factories. Instigated savings and efficiency programs also have an increasing effect.

On condition that the pleasing order intake development continues, the shown earnings trend will also continue in the second half of 2010.

The company will provide detailed information on its business performance in the first half of 2010 in the interim report which will be published on August 12, 2010.
