quarterly report/Henkel continues positive trend in third quarter
28.10.2009
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA announces preliminary figures for third quarter 
2009. The positive development of Henkel´s consumer businesses in 
previous quarters continued during the third quarter of 2009. There 
was also a further improvement in the results of the Adhesive 
Technologies business sector, albeit on a significantly lower level 
than in the previous year.
The following preliminary figures exceed the consensus estimates of 
the analysts as known to Henkel at the current time.
According to preliminary figures, Henkel generated sales in the third
quarter of 2009 amounting to around 3.49 billion euros. In the 
prior-year quarter, sales came in at 3.76 billion euros. In organic 
terms, that is to say adjusted for foreign exchange and 
acquisitions/divestments, sales decreased by 2.5 percent compared to 
the level of the prior-year quarter. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted
to 290 million euros. Included in this figure are one-time charges 
and restructuring charges of 95 million euros. After adjusting for 
these items, adjusted operating profit ("adjusted EBIT") fell 
slightly from 391 million euros to 385 million euros.
At around 1.04 billion euros, sales of the Laundry & Home Care 
business sector were just below the level of the prior-year quarter. 
Organic sales growth was 2.4 percent. Operating profit (EBIT) 
increased from 117 million euros to 137 million euros. Having 
generated slightly lower sales of around 760 million euros and 
organic sales growth of 3.7 percent, the Cosmetics/Toiletries 
business sector posted an improved operating profit (EBIT) of 100 
million euros compared to 96 million euros in the same quarter of the
previous year.
Due to the volume declines suffered by major customer industries, the
Adhesive Technologies business sector registered a decrease in sales 
to some 1.63 billion euros. In organic terms, sales decreased by 7.6 
percent. Operating profit (EBIT) declined from 169 million euros to 
89 million euros. Adjusted operating profit amounted to 150 million 
euros.
The earnings development in the third quarter reflects both the 
stabilization in Henkel´s markets and programs on structural and cost
alignment. However, it can not be expected to again achieve the 
strong past quarter results in the fourth quarter.
Henkel will be publishing precise figures on the third quarter 
performance and the outlook in its quarterly report, which is due to 
come out on November 11, 2009.
