Coloplast marks its 50th anniversary on 4 September 2007. On this occasion we
will grant a special bonus to more than 7,000 employees in 34 countries. The
bonus will vary depending on national pay levels. For example, Danish employees
will receive DKK 5,000 each. The total bonus cost of DKK 30 million will be
expensed under “Separate items” and thus included in the operating profit for
the current financial year.
The anniversary bonus will not change our guidance for the 2006/07 financial
year of around 10% organic growth in local currencies and an EBIT margin of 12
- 13%.
“The commitment of our employees and their ability to respond to our customers'
needs have been essential for the success enjoyed by Coloplast,” says
Coloplast's President and CEO Sten Scheibye. “It's a great pleasure for me to
be able to thank them for their efforts by announcing this bonus.”
