Bergheim, Salzburg, 21 January 2008 PALFINGER successfully continued
to pursue its profitable growth strategy during the 2007
financial year and achieved its third record year in a row. The
positive market environment, in particular in Europe, resulted in a
high order intake and hence strong capacity utilisation in all
product divisions. Revenue increased by 18.9 percent to EUR 695.6
million, up from EUR 585.2 million, and EBIT rose significantly to
EUR 99.6 million, which is 29.4 percent above the figure of EUR 77.0
million for the same period of the previous year. Thus the EBIT
margin amounted to 14.3 percent, reaching the highest level ever
achieved in the history of the Company. Subject to the approval of
the Supervisory Board, the Management Board will propose to the
Annual General Meeting, in line with the dividend distribution
policy of PALFINGER AG, to distribute a dividend in the amount of
EUR 0.70 per share for the 2007 financial year in comparison with
EUR 0.55 in the previous year (after 4-for-1 stock split). For the
years to come PALFINGER proceeds from the assumption of a
continued market growth and therefore in 2007 has created the
prerequisites for further growth of the PALFINGER Group. In the
2008 financial year, the Company will focus on securing the
availability of stable materials supply and costs as well as the
necessary capacities of skilled labour and the systematic
implementation of its investment projects. In the years to come
PALFINGER will also be placing its strategic focus on future
projects in order to be able to make the best possible use
of market opportunities. The above-mentioned figures are indications
from a projected calculation based on IFRS. The final results will
be published on 26 February 2008.
