Company Information

29.04.2010

Highlights • Year-end 2009 order backlog 35.4% down year on year at
EUR 2.1 billion (bn) (30 September 2009: EUR 2.4bn), depressed by
weak order intake, especially in the Plant Construction Division •
Revenue down by 8.0% to EUR 2,995.1 million (m) due to slack
investment owing to the economic crisis • Group EBITDA more than
doubled to EUR 211.2m (2008: EUR 77.3m), lifted by solid operating
performance and early adjustments of the cost base • Surge in EBIT to
EUR 143.1m (2008: EUR 19.4m) driven by strong performance by the
Plant Construction and Minerals & Metals divisions; EBIT margin 4.8%
(2008: 0.6%) • Earnings before tax (EBT) for 2009 positive by EUR
88.3m following a loss of EUR 12.3m in 2008 • Consolidated profit for
the year of EUR 53.7m (2008: consolidated loss of EUR -33.7m) • Fall
in revenue to some EUR 2.7bn and an EBIT margin of around 3% expected
in 2010, owing to the fall-off in order intake in 2009 and
anticipated slow economic growth this year
