24 Outlook Q1 2003 We do not yet see convincing signs of a recovery in our markets. Current organic revenue trends are close to flat (year-over-year). In the seasonal pattern of our business volume, the first quarter is the weakest quarter. Therefore, we expect the operating result in the first quarter to be close to or slightly below break-even, consequently EPS will be slightly negative as well, as it was in the first quarter of 2002.
