Henkel announces preliminary figures for fiscal 2009
28.01.2010
With its strong business performance in the fourth quarter of 2009 
Henkel further continued the positive trend of the prior quarters. 
Main contributors to these good results were the Laundry & Home Care 
and Adhesive Technologies business sectors which both developed 
better than expected. Adjusted return on sales (EBIT) further 
increased in the fourth quarter to 12.4 percent. As a result, Henkel 
concluded the 2009 recession year better than anticipated and, with 
the following preliminary figures, clearly exceeded the analysts´ 
earnings estimates as known to Henkel at the current time.
According to preliminary figures, Henkel generated sales in fiscal 
2009 of around 13.57 billion euros. In organic terms, that is to say 
adjusted for foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestments, sales 
decreased by 3.5 percent compared to the prior-year level. Operating 
profit (EBIT) increased from 779 million euros to 1,080 million 
euros. Included in this figure are one-time gains/charges and 
restructuring charges of 284 million euros. Adjusted operating profit
(EBIT) decreased from 1,460 million euros to 1,364 million euros. 
Earnings per preferred share (EPS) amounted to 1.40 euros. Adjusted 
earnings per preferred share declined from 2.19 euros to 1.91 euros.
At around 4.13 billion euros, sales of the Laundry & Home Care 
business sector were slightly below the prior-year level. Organic 
sales growth was 2.9 percent. Operating profit (EBIT) was at 501 
million euros. Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) increased 
considerably from 450 million euros to 530 million euros. Having 
generated overall stables sales of around 3.01 billion euros and 
organic sales growth of 3.5 percent, the Cosmetics/Toiletries 
business sector generated operating profit (EBIT) of 387 million 
euros in fiscal 2009. Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) increased to 
387 million euros from 379 million euros in the previous year. The 
Adhesive Technologies business sector registered a decrease in sales 
in fiscal 2009 to some 6.22 billion euros. In organic terms, sales 
decreased by 10.2 percent. Operating profit (EBIT) was at 290 million
euros. Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) decreased from 680 million 
euros to 506 million euros.
For fiscal 2010 Henkel is confident of again outperforming its 
relevant markets in terms of organic sales growth (i.e. after 
adjusting for foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestments). Henkel 
expects both adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and adjusted earnings 
per preferred share (EPS) to improve noticeably compared to the 
prior-year figures.
Henkel will be publishing precise figures on the fourth quarter 
performance and on fiscal 2009 in its Annual Report, which is due to 
be published on February 25, 2010.
