9-month report

12.11.2010

• Revenues +16.3% to EUR 345.2 million
• EBITDA +16.5% to EUR 38.4 million
• EBIT +7.6% to 26.5 million
• Net result -9.7% to EUR 20.0 million

"We are on track with realising our strategic goal to transform the
brand ´BWT - The Water Company´ into a consumer brand and thus making
BWT - synonymous with perfect drinking water - even more popular",
says Andreas Weissenbacher, CEO of the BWT Group about the third
quarter 2010.

The BWT Group's consolidated revenues increased in the period of
January to September by 16.3% from EUR296.9 million to EUR345.2
million. All in all, revenues in the point-of-entry business
increased by 14.3% in the first nine months. Revenues in the
point-of-use business recorded 44.4% growth.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR26.5 million
at the end of September, which represents a 7.6% improvement compared
with the previous year's figure of EUR24.6 million. The increased
fixed-asset depreciation in the point-of-use business and in
connection with the new Pharma activities, together with a goodwill
impairment made in the previous quarter, have led to additional
depreciation expenses amounting to EUR3.8 million. EBIT accounted for
7.7% of revenues, compared with 8.3% in the previous year. In the
third quarter, EBIT rose by 17.5% to EUR7.3 million, thereby
accounting for 6.4% of revenues as in the previous year.

The BWT Group's consolidated earnings after minority interests in the
first three quarters of 2010 amounted to EUR20.0 million, a decline
of 9.7% compared with the previous year (EUR22.1 million). Net profit
amounted to EUR5.4 million in the period of July to September,
slightly exceeding the previous year's figure of EUR5.3 million.
Earnings per share as at September 30 amount to EUR1.16 (previous
year: EUR1.27).

Outlook

Andreas Weissenbacher: "Individual regions such as Spain and Eastern
Europe continue to exhibit adverse market conditions. Furthermore,
strikes carried out recently in France pose a threat to the economic
recovery of this important country. In spite of the positive results
thus far in 2010 and the currently good order situation, it remains a
challenge to compensate the strong financial results achieved in the
previous year, which were brought about by the sale of an investment,
with operating growth thus reaching last year´s consolidated net
earnings.
