Date: Thursday 10 Jan 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Printer group Xaar said 2007 pre-tax profits rose to £7.3m from £6.9m in 2006, in line with expectations, while revenue is expected to climb 13% to £47.9m.

The company said it was optimistic for the future, with new product launches scheduled for 2008, including a new label printer.

“The board remains confident about the prospects for 2008 and beyond,” Xaar said, adding that it expects demand for its products to increase as the year progresses.

It said it would recommend a dividend of 2.5p for the year, a 25% increase over 2006.
