Operational result before special items<br />

<strong>PUMA</strong> achieved a solid operating result of € 63.1 million<br />

in the second quarter versus € 62.3 million last year. As<br />

a percentage of sales this relates to a margin of 10.5%<br />

compared to 10.8%.<br />

After six months the operating result was down 5.9%<br />

from € 188.1 million to € 177.1 million. The operating<br />

margin stood at 13.6% compared to 15.0% last year.<br />

Special Items – Restructuring charge<br />

The reengineering and restructuring program that led to<br />

a one-time charge of 110 million in the first quarter will,<br />

for the most part, be finalized at the end of 2010. The<br />

program should provide for a more efficient business<br />

platform aligned to an expectedly challenging<br />

environment in the upcoming quarters.<br />

Taking the special items into account, EBIT after six<br />

months amounted to € 67.1 million compared to € 188.1<br />

million last year.<br />

Financial result<br />

The financial result reflects negative € 2.1 million for the<br />

second quarter versus an income of € 0.1 million last<br />

year. Negative € 3.7 million impacted the first half, while<br />

last year showed an income of € 1.0 million. Significantly<br />

lower interest rates and the accumulation of interest on<br />

purchase price liabilities led to this negative impact on<br />

the financial result.<br />

Earnings<br />

The company’s pre-tax profit (EBT) accounts for € 61.0<br />

million in the second quarter versus € 62.4 million last<br />

year. Net earnings totaled € 38.5 million versus € 45.6<br />

million, a decline of 15.6%. This results in earnings per<br />

share of € 2.55 compared to € 2.98 in the quarter.<br />

Before restructuring costs, EBT accounts for € 173.4<br />

million versus € 189.2 million for the first half and net<br />

earnings for € 128.4 million versus € 135.7 million, a<br />

decline of 5.4%. As a consequence, earnings per share<br />

were at € 8.51 compared to € 8.74. The operational tax<br />

ratio was calculated at 26.5% versus last year’s 28.5%.<br />
