Cimatron 2005年度亏损四百六十万美元,六年来累计亏损一千五百万美元, 开发部成本进一步大幅度缩减。
Cimatron has just released its final year figures for 2005, which continue
the trend of falling sales and increasing losses. Sales for the whole year
were down from $23.2 million in 2004 to $20.9 last year, a drop of 10%, and
down from $6.4 million in Q4 of 2004 to $5.4 million in the last quarter of
2005, a drop of 15%. Thus, not only are sales in decline but the rate of
decline is increasing.
Cimatron's net loss for the year was $4.6 million, of which $1.7 million was
incurred in the final quarter. This latest result means that Cimatron has
lost more than $15 million since 1999.
Development expenditure in the final quarter showed a dramatic drop. After
being about the same as 2004 for the first three quarters, the expenses were
down from $1.6 million in Q4 2004 to only $863,000 in Q4 2005, a reduction
of over 46%. In contrast, selling, general and administrative expenses were
up from $14 million in 2004 to $15.7 million in 2005.
Overall, the value of Cimatron, that is, the value of its assets less the
value of its liabilities, has fallen from $12.8 million at the end of 2004
to $8 million at the end of last year. At the current rate, the company
will be bankrupt by the end of next year. |
