EANS-Adhoc: BWT Aktiengesellschaft
BWT "on target" in Q3 after increase in revenues and EBIT

  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.
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.
