  ad-hoc disclosure transmitted by euro adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide
  distribution. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this
  announcement.
Company Information
10.03.2010
• Net sales EUR 400.7 million (-2.3%)
• EBIT EUR 26.8 million (-8.3%)
• Net result after minorities EUR 23.0 million (+11.5%)
• Dividend proposal: EUR 0.40 per share (2008: EUR 0.38)
"We have closed the year 2009 reasonably well despite difficult 
conditions and are able to propose to increase the dividend to EUR 
0.40 per share due to the solid balance sheet situation. At the same 
time, we have created new growth potentials by in total investing EUR
44 million," says Andreas Weissenbacher, CEO of the BWT Group about 
the figures for the 2009 financial year.
In the year 2009, the BWT Group achieved consolidated net sales of 
EUR 400.7 million representing a decline of 2.3% compared to last 
year (EUR 410.2 million); excluding the first-time consolidation of 
new activities the decline would have been -5.1%. EBIT fell by 8.3% 
to reach EUR 26.8 million.
Mostly thanks to a EUR 4.5 million one-time extraordinary positive 
effect from the sale of a minority participation in the second 
quarter 2009, the BWT consolidated net result after minorities grew 
from EUR 20.6 million by 11.5% to EUR 23.0 million. Without this 
special income, the normalized result amounts to EUR 18.5 million and
a minus of 10.2% compared to the previous year. Earnings per share 
reached EUR 1.32 after EUR 1.16 in the year before (+13.4%).
Outlook
Andreas Weissenbacher: "As in the previous year, earnings guidance is
difficult to give for the new financial year. On sales level, the 
effects from the consolidation of the pharma water activities will 
have a positive effect as in the year 2009 only one quarter was 
included, on the other side, the one-time positive effect in the 
financial result need to be balanced by better operating results in 
the new business year."
The final financial results and the Annual Report 2009 are due to be 
published on April 16, 2010.
