annual report

13.04.2010

Against the backdrop of strong declines in production volumes within
the passenger car, heavy goods and commercial vehicle segments as a
result of the global economic recession, a decline in all earnings
figures of POLYTEC GROUP was recorded.

Units 2009 2008 adjusted
Sales EUR mill 607,0 768,3
EBITDA EUR mill. 10,2 50,2
EBITDA-margin % 1,7 6,5
EBIT before restructuring costs EUR mill. -22,4 13,9
EBIT after restructuring costs EUR mill. -30,2 13,9
EBIT-margin % -5,0 1,8

The downward market trend in the automotive industry and, most
specifically, in the commercial vehicle segment which started
unfolding at year-end 2008, continued throughout the reporting year
resulting in a group sales decline of 21.0% to EUR 607.0 million and
a considerable decline in group operating income, which turned
negative. EBITDA remained positive totalling EUR 10.2 million, as the
successful implementation of restructuring measures in the second
half of the reporting year led to positive EBITDA margins.

OUTLOOK 2010

Automotive Systems Division - For the full-year 2010, sales are
expected to show a slight increase. Due to the clear positioning of
this division as a supplier of the European premium segment, no
negative effects are anticipated from the termination of various
European scrappage schemes. Besides, in the light of the expected
positive sales development and the further implementation of
optimization measures, the division´s operating income is anticipated
to increase in the 2010 business year.

Automotive Composites Division - Against the backdrop of the current
general market development, there are few signs at present of a
long-term recovery of the Automotive Composites Division, despite a
slight increase at the beginning of 2010. However, based on the
implementation of sales and cost optimization measures which will
become fully effective in 2010, the situation has already been
improved. In the event that capacity utilisation does not show a
further improvement in the course of 2010, the company does not rule
out the possibility of putting in place additional restructuring
measures upon termination of short-time working schemes.

Car Styling Division and Other Business Segments - As these business
segments performed quiet well in the financial year 2009, and also
the current order situation is positive for both, a further positive
development of the results can be expected.
