annual report

28.03.2008

• Sales +9.8% to EUR 397.5 million
• EBIT +7.9% to EUR 35.2 million
• Net income +19.1% to EUR 26.4 million

"Raw materials, energy and water, against the background of massive
price increases, demand growth and the climate change, constitute
imminent challenges - for us in BWT as well as the people on earth.
Also in 2007, we have grown sales and earnings with innovative,
compact water treatment systems in our market and prepared for
further dynamic growth by making strategically important
investments," says Andreas Weissenbacher, CEO of the BWT Group,
commenting the year 2007 results.

During the 2007 financial year, the BWT Group generated consolidated
sales of EUR 397.5 million and thus exceeded the previous year´s
result (EUR 362.0 million) by 9.8%. Point-of-use and the service and
spare part business each generated approximately one fifth of the
consolidated sales growth, while around 60% (EUR 20.6 million) came
from the point-of-entry business, the core business of BWT.

With an increase of 7.9% to EUR 35.2 million, the increase in EBIT
lagged behind the sales growth due to higher material prices and
changes in the product mix. The improved financial result and a more
favorable income tax rate resulted in a net profit of EUR 26.4
million, 19.1% higher than 2006 and better than the initial
forecasts.

Group equity was EUR 129.6 million on December 31, 2007 (previous
year: EUR 109.2 million), which meant an improvement in the equity
ratio from 42.6% to 45.2%. In 2007, net debt in the BWT Group
increased from EUR 24.7 million to EUR 26.5 million, while gearing
(net debt/equity ratio) improved from 22.6% to 20.4% due to the
higher level of own funds.

Investments grew by 40% to EUR 15.1 million. The most important
investment projects of 2007 were concerned with the development and
expansion of production capacities for the point-of-use business. The
number of employees rose by 7% to 2,354.

With the improvement in earnings and the healthy balance sheet
situation, the Management Board are proposing the Annual General
Meeting that the dividend be raised by EUR 0.03 or 8.6% to EUR 0.38
per share.

Outlook

"BWT management will pursue in 2008 also geographical expansion
primarily in the growth markets of Eastern Europe and Asia as well as
the expansion of the product range, especially in the so-called
"point-of-use" area. Consolidation of the organization in Hungary and
expansion of activity in the growing Russian market are two of
objectives on the agenda for the coming financial year", says Andreas
Weissenbacher.
