• Sales target attained at EUR 345.2 million • EBIT of EUR 10.4
million achieved despite a tough market environment • Management
recommends dividend of EUR 0.85 per share to supervisory board
Krems, 26 May 2006 - The Austrian automotive supplier Eybl
International has been able to extend its positive trend in recent
years despite its sector's tough environment. The Eybl Group's sales
earnings rose in the past business year (2005/06) when compared with
its financial results the year before by about 4% to reach EUR 345.2m
(2004/05: EUR 332.5m). EBIT remained practically the same at EUR
10.4m (2004/05: EUR 10.3m). This yields an EBIT margin of 3.0%
(2004/05: 3.1%). EBITDA was EUR 25.3m (2004/05: EUR 20.2m). The
annual net profit is expected to be about EUR 6.3m, burdened by a
higher financial expenditure in the past business year (2004/05; EUR
7.3m).
"Changes in the automotive sector's value chain and the concomitant
concentration process in the European automotive supplier industry
has confronted the entire sector with major challenges in the past
business year. Eybl International's good results, compared with the
industry as a whole, clearly show that the Krems supplier company was
able to assume a stable position in this tough environment and has
been able to continue developing in line with its strategy." says
Johannes M. Elsner, CEO Eybl International.
By firmly basing its efforts on the functions of market oriented
value creation, value analysis and ongoing supplier trends it was
possible to exert a positive impact on cost conditions.
The successful EUR 323m level of incoming orders eloquently reflects
changes in our customers' policy in placing their orders in relation
to lifetime commissions. Last year's level of EUR 541m was
essentially the result of mass production orders with a duration of
seven years. In this business year, on the whole, development and
start-up orders and three-year mass production assignments up to the
first facelift were placed.
On the basis of these preliminary financial results the board of
directors are recommending a dividend of EUR 0.85 per share to the
supervisory board. At the current share price this is equivalent to a
5.77% return on investment. The definite proposal will be submitted
after confirmation by the governance boards at the annual
shareholders' meeting in Stift Göttweig on 6 July 2006.
The final figures for the 2005/06 business year will be published and
assessed by Eybl International on 5 July 2006 in connection with its
annual report press conference.
