Schopfloch, April 23, 2008. HOMAG Group AG intends to more than double its
dividend, and distribute EUR 0.90 per share to its shareholders (prior
year: EUR 0.40). At its meeting today to ratify the company's annual
financial statements, the supervisory board approved a resolution of the
management board to this end, and decided to propose a dividend of EUR 0.90
per share at the annual general meeting on June 5, 2008. At the same
meeting, the preliminary figures for fiscal 2007 that had already been
announced were confirmed.
Sales revenue improved by more than 13 percent to EUR 837 million (prior
year: EUR 736 million), while EBITDA before IPO costs and employee
participation expenses rose some 21 percent to EUR 103.3 million (prior
year: EUR 85.0 million). An even greater increase was recorded in net
profit after minority interests, up 61 percent to EUR 32.0 million, and in
earnings per share, up 54 percent to EUR 2.12.
With this substantial dividend increase, HOMAG Group AG wants its
shareholders to participate in the excellent performance of the company in
the past fiscal year. At the same time, the management board is
underscoring its optimism about 2008, and intends to maintain its
shareholder-friendly profit distribution policy.
