- YTD order intake of EUR 215.2 million
- Order backlog at EUR 353.0 million

Cologne, November 11, 2011 - KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG ('KHD'),
one of the world's leading providers of equipment and services for the
cement industry released its third quarter 2011 interim results today. New
orders came in strongly in the third quarter and the Group was able to book
an order intake of EUR 127.8 million. This is well above the half year
figure of EUR 87.4 million. With the new orders KHD now has a solid order
backlog of EUR 353.0 million (H1 2011: 284.4 million).
On the revenue side uncertainty in the markets, especially in India, has
led to customer postponements in project execution forcing the Group to
revise its revenue guidance for the current fiscal year with revenues
reaching EUR 165.5 million for the first nine months of 2011 (previous
year: EUR 188.6 million). KHD was still able to achieve an EBIT of EUR 15.7
million (Q3 2010: EUR 17.8 million). This corresponds to an EBIT margin of
9.5%. KHD was also able to improve net income from EUR 9.5 million (Q3
2010) to EUR 13.8 million. The earnings figures also include other
operating income of EUR 4.1 million (Q3 2010: EUR 2.0 million), which
includes a positive one-off effect of EUR 2.4 million resulting from a
revaluation of subsidiary shares from OOO KHD Humboldt Engineering, Moscow,
Russia. In October 2011 the Group successfully acquired the remaining 50%
of its Moscow entity.
KHD management still expects a positive order trend in the fourth quarter.
This will however strongly depend on how the economic environment develops.
Due to the above mentioned customer postponements in project execution KHD
expects that the previously projected revenues (August 2011) of EUR 270
million for financial year 2011 will not be attained. Nevertheless, the
Group retains its EBIT guidance of EUR 16 million to EUR 19 million for the
current financial year.
KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG's full interim report for the third
quarter 2011 will be available today under www.khd.com / investor
relations.
