Deutsche Post World Net in 2006 increases revenues and earnings as expected
Deutsche Post World Net in 2006 recorded an increase in group revenue by
35.8% to 60,545 million Euro. Group operating profit (EBIT) increased by
2.9% to 3,872 million Euro. All corporate divisions met profit targets. For
the full year 2006 the group EBIT includes already reported non-recurring
effects, mainly from the exchangeable bond (276 million Euro) and the
settlement with Deutsche Telekom (89 million Euro).
The MAIL division achieved an increase in EBIT of 1.2% to 2,054 million
Euro.
The EXPRESS corporate division generated - including
mid-double-digit-million cost for the new currently built hub in Leipzig –
an EBIT of 325 million Euro. The restated result for the previous year was
-23 million Euros (including goodwill amortisation).
LOGISTICS more than doubled EBIT to 762 million Euro (2005 restated: 346
million Euro).
FINANCIAL SERVICES also met the guidance of more than 950 million Euro EBIT
(previous year: 863 million Euro).
SERVICES recorded including the above mentioned non-recurring effects an
EBIT of – 237 million Euro.
Group net income (after minorities) reached 1,916 million Euro (1.60 Euro
per share), that compares to 2,235 million Euros (1.99 Euro per share) in
2005. One reason for this decrease was that the Group reduced its stake in
Postbank to 50 percent plus one share during the past year. As a result, a
proportionately smaller share of net income is attributable to Deutsche
Post stockholders.
Deutsche Post’s board of management proposes to increase the dividend for
2006 to 0.75 Euro per share (previous year: 0.70 Euro per share).
Deutsche Post World Net´s management will present the full accounts on the
year 2006 on March 20, 2007. A guidance for the current year will be
introduced then.
