Financial targets 2008
Outlook (barring unforeseen circumstances)
The strength of Straumann’s underlying business and the growing contributions from new products, technologies and subsidiaries are expected to drive full-year revenue growth in 2008 to the mid-twenties range in local currencies.
As efficiency improvements are expected to exceed the higher levels of amortization related to acquisitions, the Group foresees an improvement of around 50 basis points in full-year operating margin. With the tax rate returning to normal, the net profit marginis expected to be around 23%.
