  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Didier-Werke is presenting the (preliminary) results for 2003
according to IFRS for the first time; the figures for 2002 were also
converted to IFRS.
The Didier Group reported sales revenues of EUR 433.1 million
(previous year: EUR 541.9 million) in the financial year 2003, down
20% on the previous year mainly due to the sale of the Engineering
division at June 30, 2002.
In 2002, the operating result (EBIT) of the Didier Group amounted to
EUR 16.5 million (previous year: EUR 13.9 million), profit before
income taxes was EUR 18.6 million in 2003 (previous year: EUR 4.0
million). The change in the profit for 2002 as published according to
German Commercial Code (HGB) in the previous year results from
different valuation and the fact that certain expenses were recorded
in different years due to the change from HGB to IFRS.
Net income of the Didier Group in 2003 amounted to EUR 9.7 million
(previous year: EUR -16.0 million), Didier’s net income attributable
to the shareholders of Didier-Werke AG after minorities came to EUR
9.5 million (previous year: EUR -15.8 million).
The profit of Didier-Werke AG amounted to EUR 20.5 million in 2003
(previous year: EUR 10.4 million).
At December 31, 2003, RHI AG held, directly and indirectly, 97.52% of
the share capital of Didier-Werke AG.
Following the sale of the Engineering division in 2002, Didier will
in future focus on the core competence Refractories within the RHI
Group. Under the global RHI Refractories brand, Didier-Werke makes
refractories for the production of steel, glass, non-ferrous metals
