Despite tough global conditions, French company Lectra made a net profit of EUR 3.6 million in 2002, against a EUR 3.2 million loss for the previous year.

Consolidated revenues were down 5% (2% at constant exchange rates) at EUR 185.1 million. However, CEO Daniel Harari reports the company has consolidated its position and thanks to successful new product launches, has seen significant orders booked by large customers world wide. The USA and China remain the key markets, with growth in textiles, retailing and consulting, central to the forward business plan.
