I think the relentless downward chart has more than flattened out now? Something is happening?!

[topvest] 25/10/2010 19:33

Possibly, but not until the relentless downward chart flattens out.

[speakersforbusiness] 25/10/2010 11:59

Cameron's speech and commitment to wind turbine technology must surely signal a potential reverse to the long slide of this company? Worth a little punt at these levels?

back to the small cap market for you...you bad boy!

I guess it is something of a cyclical industry but it seems to be some way from bottoming out.
I am watching but until there is a clear stabilisation in the business I wont invest.
In contrast I am in PVCS which has managed to remain decently profitable despite suffering a serious decline in the prices it can charge customers.

support share price will at 31-35p area.

[praipus] 15/10/2010 09:28

Good news, paying down debt, less vulnerable to volatile global markets IMHO. I'm biased due to holding ECWO, ECWL, ECWZ and ECWS.

[limousine] 15/10/2010 07:44

Danish firm Vestas downgraded again today on concerns about problems with their new turbine. Will hit HSN imo.

[darrin1471] 27/8/2010 08:24

Hansen Transmissions (HSN) make wind turbine gearboxes and they are on our list
of top UK shorts this week so there appears a predicted global slowdown in
wind energy

[topvest] 20/8/2010 09:01

This is getting hammered. Hold indirectly through Ecofin which is one of the larger shareholders.

[henryatkin] 18/8/2010 20:54

Still holding my short with 45p target. Copenhagen listed Vestas Wind downgraded forecasts today. Probabley the cause for HSN falling another 7%.

[m.t.glass] 29/6/2010 07:43

Closed last night below its 77p March 2009 low. Nov 2008 low was 75p

[masurenguy] 02/6/2010 09:09

Still finding markets 'challenging' ! Share price still in downward trend - almost a 75% decline over the past 2 years. No real evidence of any turnaround yet - no position, still watching from the sidelines !

Edegem, Belgium - London, UK - 17 May, 2010 - Hansen Transmissions International NV today announces its results for the 3 months ended 31 March 2010 and for the 12 months ended 31 March 2010.

HIGHLIGHTS FINANCIAL YEAR 2010

* Revenue decline of 12.6%, in line with adjusted guidance of approximately
15% revenue decline given on 20 January 2010

* EBITDA1 margin at 7.8% (financial year 2009:15.4%) up from 6.0% for the
first half of the financial year. Net loss of 8.6 million EUR, compared to
net profit of 45 million EUR for last year

* Net financial debt at 129 million EUR on 31 March 2010 - reduction of 59
million EUR in the last quarter of the financial year, as a result of
intensified working capital management & careful deployment of expansion
capex

* Consolidated Net Senior Debt / EBITDA1 of 3.42 x at 31 March 2010, well
within the renegotiated covenant level of 5.25 x for that period

* Actively managing phasing of capacity expansion plan while maintaining a
target of delivering 14,300 MW of capacity in financial year 2013. Reduced
capex in FY 2010 and FY 2011 to better align with anticipated customer
demand

* Ongoing management of fixed cost base and continued operational efficiences

* Further diversification of the customer base; Hansen announces today a
contract with Sinovel, a leading Chinese wind turbine manufacturer

* Tentative signs of recovery in a market environment that remains
challenging, with Hansen continuing to be well-positioned with its growing
portfolio of major customers

Alex De Ryck, CEO of Hansen commented:"At the core of Hansen's strategy is our mission to reduce the kWh cost of renewable energy. We remain confident in the strong medium-term outlook for the global renewable energy market and although the past year has been challenging, we are beginning to see the first signs of recovery. We believe this trend will start to gain strength during the second half of the calendar year. We are in a strong position to benefit from the improving markets with well-invested state-of-the-art manufacturing capacity, an optimized supply chain and a restructured fixed cost base."

OUTLOOK

Since early 2009, the volatility and challenges affecting the near term wind market have been reflected in Hansen's financial results. This trend has continued and Hansen believes the operating environment will remain challenging. While the order book has seen significant rescheduling, our ongoing dialogue with customers continues to suggest some optimism for improving industry investment from the second half of the 2010 calendar year.
Hansen expects the first quarter of the financial year 2011 to be in line with the last quarter of financial year 2010 and revenue for the financial year 2011 to be back-end loaded. Against this backdrop, we expect to see revenue growth for the full financial year 2011 of around 5% to 10%, compared to the financial year 2010.

Our expansion plans are phased and we remain both operationally and financially flexible in the continued execution of our growth strategy. From our strategy of profitable growth, we will continue to diversify our customer base and to carefully deploy capital to meet their capacity requirements. Our confidence in the medium and longer-term fundamentals of the wind industry remains unchanged and we continue to be well positioned with a growing portfolio of major customers.

Edegem/Antwerp, Belgium - London, UK - 20 January 2010

GUIDANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2010

Since early 2009, the volatility and challenges impacting the near term wind market have been reflected in Hansen Transmissions International NV financial results, most recently in the half year Interim Results where we commented on our caution resulting from the operating environment remaining challenging and lacking visibility. This trend has continued and although the results for Q3 2010 are anticipated to be in-line with the Company's expectations, Hansen believes the operating environment to remain challenging for at least the next two quarters, being the first two quarters of the 2010 calendar year (reporting quarters Q4 2010 and Q1 2011).

In particular, as a result of recent discussions with its customers, Hansen's expectations for volumes in the last quarter of the financial year 2010, which historically has been its strongest quarter, have been reduced in order to meet with customers needs in the short-term. Consequently, the company adjusts its revenue guidance from flat revenue for the full financial year 2010 to a revenue decrease of approximately 15% from the level achieved for the full financial year 2009. The Company continues to build on its successful cost reduction measures to minimise the impact on profitability.

While the order book has seen significant rescheduling, the ongoing dialogue with our customers continues to suggest some optimism for improving industry investment from the second half of the 2010 calendar year. We continue to be well-positioned with our customers and see the issues as predominantly relating to the wind market as a whole. Our confidence in the medium and longer-term fundamentals of the wind industry remain.

Hansen will publish its Interim Management Statement for the 3 months period ended 31 December 2009 on 28 January 2010.
