Schaltbau outperforms earnings forecast – dividend to be raised to EUR 1.10 per share

Munich, 9 March 2011 – The Schaltbau Group surpassed the earnings forecast it originally made for the fiscal year 2010. With a sales revenue increase of 4% on the previous year to achieve EUR 280.4 million and a 10% rise in total output to EUR 288.6 million, preliminary figures indicate that earnings from operating activities (EBIT) rose sharply from EUR 20.3 million to EUR 23.8 million. The EBIT margin therefore improved from 7.5% to 8.5% in terms of sales.

Preliminary Group net profit rose from EUR 14.1 million in 2009 to EUR 14.8 million. However, the previous year’s result includes the positive influence of the exceptional post-tax gain of EUR 1.1 million arising on the sale of Bode Beijing. The profit attributable to shareholders of Schaltbau Holding AG of EUR 12.1 million came very close to reaching the previous year’s level of EUR 12.3 million. Undiluted earnings per share stood at EUR 6.50 (2009: EUR 6.62) and thus EUR 0.10 above the previously published estimate. Net bank liabilities were further reduced and totalled EUR 31.5 million at the end of 2010 (2009: EUR 33.9 million). The Group equity ratio improved from 12.2 % to 17.5 %.

In view of this positive performance achieved in 2010 the Executive Board will put forward a proposal to the Supervisory Board regarding the appropriation of profit to pay a dividend of EUR 1.10. For the fiscal year 2009 a dividend was paid of EUR 0.50 per share plus a special dividend of EUR 0.20 per share arising on the sale of Bode Beijing.
