Start into first quarter restrained
The start of 2009 saw the challenging world economic situation 
continue and this was reflected in Henkel´s business performance. 
While the Laundry & Home Care and Cosmetics/Toiletries businesses 
continue to develop very successfully, the Adhesive Technologies 
business sector has been affected by the worldwide difficult 
situation of major industry segments.
According to preliminary figures the effects of the worldwide 
economic crisis have resulted in an organic sales decrease of around 
7 percent. Operating profit (EBIT) declined from 320 million euros to
about 215 million euros, while total sales increased by around 3 
percent to about 3.25 billion euros. This increase is mainly due to 
the acquisition of the National Starch businesses.
Sales of the Adhesive Technologies business sector decreased 
organically by about 19 percent. Total sales increased by around 7 
percent to about 1.46 billion euros due to the businesses acquired 
from National Starch, while operating profit (EBIT) decreased from 
150 million euros to about 45 million euros. In contrast, the Laundry
& Home Care business sector increased operating profit (EBIT) from 
100 million euros to about 105 million euros. At 1.01 billion euros, 
sales were slightly below prior-year level. Organically, sales 
increased slightly. The Cosmetics/Toiletries business sector 
increased sales organically by a good 3 percent. With sales slightly 
up to about 720 million euros, operating profit (EBIT) also increased
disproportionately from 87 million euros to around 90 million euros.
Henkel will inform in more detail on the development in the first 
quarter when publishing its Q1 report on May 6, 2009.
