INVESTOR RELATIONS RELEASE
Monheim, November 20, 2006
Cognis reports increased sales and earnings for first nine months of 2006
In the nine months to September 30, 2006, global specialty chemicals
supplier Cognis achieved net external sales of 2,555 million euros, a 7.2
percent increase on the same period in 2005. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings
before net financial result, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and
exceptional items) grew by 7.1 percent to 304 million euros, and the
company’s overall profit margin was 11.9 percent. Comments Antonio Trius,
CEO of Cognis: ‘We are really pleased with the results for the first nine
months of the year, which have been achieved despite higher energy costs,
especially in Europe, and increasing raw material costs. Care Chemicals,
Nutrition & Health and Functional Products have made particularly important
contributions to these encouraging figures, and it is no coincidence that
these three Strategic Business Units are all strongly focused on
innovation-driven growth markets.’
The Q3/2006 quarterly reports of Cognis GmbH and Cognis Holding GmbH are
now available. The Cognis GmbH Q3/2006 report, in pdf form, can be
