Due to the solid overall economic environment, the Profilform Division was able to substantially surpass the previous year’s revenue and results figures.
Revenue in the business year 2010/11 rose by 30.8% from EUR 871.3 million to EUR 1,139.3 million. The operating results were even more dramatic, with EBITDA almost doubling, with an increase of 92.2% from EUR 83.0 million to EUR 159.5 million, and EBIT more than tripling, soaring by 205.7% from EUR 38.6 million to EUR 118.0 million. As a result, the division generated an EBITDA margin of 14.0% (previous year: 9.5%) and an EBIT margin of 10.4% (previous year: 4.4%) for the business year 2010/11.
As of March 31, 2011, the Profilform Division had 4,200 employees (excl. apprentices and temporary personnel). Compared to the workforce as of the end of the previous business year (4,014), this corresponds to a gain of 4.6%.
After a largely stable and positive development in the first three quarters of the business year, the Profilform Division made even more substantial gains in the final quarter. Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue rose by 11.6% from EUR 275.4 million to EUR 307.4 million. EBITDA (+19.8% from EUR 36.8 million to EUR 44.1 million) and EBIT (+30.8% from EUR 26.3 million to EUR 34.4 million) also went up considerably compared to the two preceding quarters. The margins improved in the final quarter from 13.4% to 14.3% (EBITDA) and from 9.6% to 11.2% (EBIT).
