The Győr-based Rába Group in the first three quarters of the year realized sales revenues of HUF45.3 billion, which is 9.1% higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year. Although the Group’s operating profit in the respective period decreased from HUF550 million to HUF408 million, as a result of the hedging transactions successfully counteracting the effects of the currency rate, the Group realized a net profit of HUF1.61 billion in the first nine months of the year as opposed to HUF725 million registered a year ago. The Group maintains its forecasts for the end of 2008, according to which sales revenue of HUF60 billion – together with the realized hedging transactions – is expected to reach an EBITDA level of HUF5.5 billion.
