In fiscal year 2011 Group sales increased by EUR 186.8 million or 13.2 % to
EUR 1.6 billion, in comparison to previous year. Dyckerhoff benefited
considerably from the untypical winter in 2011, which facilitated cement
and concrete deliveries virtually all year, this led to volume increases by
15 % and 19 %, respectively. Average cement prices decreased in Germany,
Luxembourg, in the Czech Republic and in the USA, while they increased in
Poland, Ukraine and Russia. About 52 % of total Group sales can be ascribed
to Germany / Western Europe, 37 % to Eastern Europe and 11 % to the USA.
Group EBITDA increased by EUR 72.4 million, or 33.1 %, to EUR 291.0
million. This includes positive one-time effects of a total of EUR 6.3
million, mainly from the sale of a former office building in Luxembourg.
This compares to negative one-time effects of EUR 10.6 million in 2010,
especially related to the 'mothballing' of the US plant Oglesby. Changes to
the group of consolidated companies accounted for positive EUR 3.3 million;
exchange rate effects reduced EBITDA by EUR 2.8 million.
The result before income taxes increased to EUR 102.2 million (2010: EUR
-20.5 million). In the previous year, EUR 78.0 million were due to the
measures in the Oglesby plant in the USA. The result after income taxes
amounts to EUR 72.9 million, and Group net profit is EUR 65.6 million.
Equity ratio fell slightly to 49.5 % (2010: 50.4 %). Net debt decreased to
EUR 261.7 million (2010: EUR 398.0 million), and Gearing fell to 15.1 %
(2010: 23.8 %).
For the year 2012 Dyckerhoff expects Group sales and EBITDA at similar
levels as in 2011.
The complete consolidated financial statements of Dyckerhoff AG will be
published in the context of the press conference on March 26, 2012.
