Venlo, The Netherlands, March 16, 2007 – Océ today published its U.S. GAAP financial report for the 2006 financial year on Form 20-F and deposited it with the SEC [US Securities and Exchange Commission].

The results under U.S. GAAP differ significantly from those published on the basis of IFRS, specifically due to a different treatment of reorganisation costs, pensions and research & development expenditure.
