3-month report/Quarterly Report

17.05.2010

Highlights: - Order intake down by 15.6%, from EUR 426.6m to EUR
360.2m, dented by a decline in orders in the Plant Construction
Division which outweighed strong performances from the other three
divisions. - Order backlog of EUR 2.0 billion (bn) as at the end of
March 2010 - 5.2% down on the year-end 2009 figure of EUR 2.1bn. -
Group revenue up by 0.9% to EUR 697.8m thanks to a strong showing
from the Minerals & Metals Division. - EBITDA virtually unchanged
year on year at EUR 50.6m (Q1 2009: EUR 50.7m), with robust earnings
in Plant Construction and Minerals & Metals balancing weaker
performances from the other two divisions. - Slight fall in Group
EBIT to EUR 37.9m (Q1 2009: EUR 38.7m); EBIT margin of 5.4% (Q1 2009:
5.6%). - Decline in net finance costs to EUR 14.2m (Q1 2009: EUR
16.9m), due to an improvement in the Drive Technology Division,
mainly caused by the reduction of the negative exchange rate effects
experienced in the comparative period. - Earnings before tax (EBT)
8.7% higher in the period under review, at EUR 23.7m (Q1 2009: EUR
21.8m). - Higher income tax expense due to higher earnings before tax
in Plant Construction and Minerals & Metals Division, resulting in a
profit for the period of EUR 12.7m compared to EUR 14.3m in the like
period of 2009. - Management standing by the guidance for 2010 given
at the time of publication of the annual results for 2009: revenue
EUR 2.7bn, EBIT margin around 3%.
