Sales trend - Budget targets achieved
In an unsecure economic environment the revenues of the Deufol Group added
up to EUR 324.8 million (previous year: EUR 298.9 million). The budget for
2015, which foresaw revenues in the scope between EUR 295 million to EUR
315 million, was excelled.
Operating result (EBIT)
The EBITDA amounted to EUR 15.6 million and was at the top of the budgeted
scope between EUR 14 million to EUR 16 million. The reason of this result
lays mainly in the very positive business development in Germany and in the
US. The EBIT reached 8.2 million (previous year: EUR 6.2 million).
Financial indebtedness stabilized - positive operating cash flow
In the past fiscal year the financial liabilities of the Deufol Group have
been very constant, they slightly decreased from EUR 58.8 million to EUR
58.2 million.
Net financial liabilities - defined as the total financial liabilities less
financial receivables and cash - increased by EUR 2.4 million from EUR 37.0
million on December 31, 2014 to EUR 39.4 million at the end of the period
under review. This was due to the decrease in cash held (- EUR 1.7 million)
and lower financial receivables (- EUR 1.3 million).
The operating cash flow amounted to EUR 5.6 million in the period under
review and was thus signifi-cantly lower than in the previous year (EUR
22.2 million). This was mostly caused by increased trade receivables (+ EUR
10.8 million) due to new payment conditions for one major customer.

Its op-erating result (EBITDA) should amount to between EUR 14,5 and 16,5 million. Sales should increase in Germany and in the Rest of Europe but fall slightly short of the level realized in the previous year in the USA / Rest of the World. With regard to our results forecast, we expect our core business in Germany to increase comparable to 2015. This is attributable to the productivity-boosting measures implemented last years. For the Rest of Europe we envisage a slight increase in earnings. In the USA / Rest of the World segment, we expect results on the level as 2015. Various financing groups exist within the Deufol Group. In Germany and the Rest of Europe Deufol has syndicated financing arrangement which lasts till October 2016. For this arrangement negotiations to extend the term and to expand the credit lines were started in 2015. In January 2016 this process was successfully finished by signing the new agreement. In this respect, improvements could be realized in the financial covenants specified by the agreement and our financial leeway could be expanded.
