Preliminary figures of fiscal year 2007: Board of Management will propose
to double the dividend
In fiscal year 2007 Dyckerhoff AG generated EUR 1.8 billion in Group sales.
This corresponds to an increase by around 25 per cent.
According to preliminary calculations, EBITDA grew by 39 percent up to EUR
562 million. Primarily, higher volumes and prices in Western and Eastern
Europe had a favorable effect. Preliminary earnings before taxes (EBT) were
increased by 90 percent to EUR 434 million. Preliminary net income also
grew by 90 percent to EUR 286 million.
The Board of Management will propose to the Dyckerhoff AG Supervisory
Board, to bring about a resolution at the next Annual General Meeting on
May 9, 2008, to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.32 (2006: EUR 0.66) per
ordinary share and per preferred share each for fiscal year 2007. This
amounts to EUR 54.5 million or about 20 percent of Group net profit
attributable to Dyckerhoff.
Complete consolidated financial statements of Dyckerhoff AG will be
published in the context of the press conference on March 26, 2008.
