INVESTOR RELATIONS RELEASE
Monheim, April 5, 2006
Cognis reports an increase in sales in 2005
Global specialty chemicals supplier Cognis achieved net external sales of
3.176 billion euros between January 1 and December 31, 2005, representing a
rise of 3.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net financial result,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization and exceptional items) stood at
356 million euros, which was moderately lower than in 2004. Comments Cognis
CEO Dr. Antonio Trius: “Our 2005 performance reflects a mixture of
challenging conditions in certain markets – namely textiles, vitamin E and
glycerin – and strong personal and home care markets. While higher raw
material and energy costs had a negative impact on results, we benefited
from our investments in product innovations, capacity and customer
relationships in attractive, targeted markets such as phytosterols for
functional food applications, performance ingredients for the personal care
industry, and products for the pharmaceutical and health industries.”
