Third time M-DAX winner in manager magazin's annual
ranking
Heidelberg Druckmaschinen AG's (Heidelberg)
2002/2003 Annual Report was rated by the business magazine manager
magazin as the best on the M-DAX in its annual report ranking. This
is now the third time that Heidelberg has been named the M-DAX
winner. In the overall evaluation of all the annual reports
examined, Heidelberg was in fifth place.
Each year since 1995, Hamburg-based manager magazin has been
analyzing the annual reports of the largest companies listed on the
stock exchange and evaluating them according to content,
appearance, language, financial communication and quarterly
reporting. The manager magazin competition is the most
comprehensive comparison of annual reports in Germany and one of
the largest in Europe.
"Especially in difficult times, the annual report is an
ideal means of communication for clearly outlining any
restructuring that is needed and setting out the reasons behind it.
This is the only way to retain investor confidence in our corporate
strategy", explains Heidelberg CFO Dr. Herbert Meyer.
