RENK AG: 9-month 2009 interim report pursuant to
Sec. 37x German Securities Trading Act ('WpHG')
Shrinking order intake and still relatively stable sales characterize
RENK's business situation
The ongoing crisis in the German mechanical engineering sector since late
2008 has to date mainly been reflected in subsiding order activity at RENK:
Order intake plunged 37% from 353 to 224 million euros. At 348 million
euros, sales sank a mere 8% from the year-earlier 378 million euros.
Operating profit showed a clear year-on-year decline, down 23% from 61 to
47 million euros. Net income (EAT) diminished from 43 to 32 million euros,
earnings per share slipping to 4.75 euros (down from 6.32 euros a year
ago).
For the year 2009, RENK still looks to a total order intake of over 400
million euros once the expected contract for transmissions to go into the
German PUMA Infantry Fighting Vehicle has been awarded. Therefore, RENK
reaffirms its midyear forecast for all of 2009 according to which sales
will fall well short of the 500 million euro threshold while the return on
sales (ROS) is predicted to top 10%.
